Something brought you here. Maybe it's the exhaustion that doesn't go away no matter how much you rest. Maybe it's the tension between who you are at home and who you have to be everywhere else. Maybe you've been holding things together for so long you're not sure what falling apart would even look like. I work with immigrants, children of immigrants, and people from BIPOC communities, especially Filipino-Americans and Asian-Americans who are navigating trauma, family pressure, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from living between worlds.
I have significant training in EMDR, Brainspotting, DBT, and Somatic Ecotherapy to support long term and holistic healing. In an age of AI and constant digital noise, I offer something increasingly rare: embodied healing rooted in the natural world.
For my fellow Filipino/a/x kababayans, I especially welcome the chance to connect and offer a space where our shared cultural experiences are centered. Therapy is offered virtually in both English and Tagalog. If you feel a connection to what you've read and are ready to move forward, I invite you to schedule a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation.

Trauma doesn't always look like one big event. For many of my clients, it shows up as chronic stress, people-pleasing that goes bone-deep, family loyalty that costs too much, or a quiet sense that something from the past is still running the show. I help people make sense of those patterns and change them.
