Therapists in Mason County, WA

Do you often find yourself lost, anxious, and unsure? We have all been affected by this post-covid era at some point. I am a good listener and passionate about issues such as feelings of anxiety, boundary setting, low self-esteem, grief, and trauma. Give it a try, what's the "best" that could happen?

My therapy work is rooted in a systemic approach with children, adolescents, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, etc... . Through my own identities and experiences as a 1.5 generation immigrant from the Philippines, being raised in Los Angeles, and as an educator for over 20 years, I understand the impact of harm and losses that carry from generation to generation caused by systems that are not made for us. They surface in our lives and within our relationships.

You don’t have to be alone. Today, your journey to healing begins. I aim to know my client. This allows me to undertand their issues, their needs and their goals. Growing up with disability provided an opportunity for me to rise above discrimination, bullying, racism, oppression, marginalization, anxiety, depression, and face life’s unending challenges. I am fluent and can provide therapy in three languages fluently, English, Ilokano, Tagalog. I am trained in Eastern and Western approaches. I use evidenced based treatment interventions including but not limited to EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Approach.

As a therapist, I believe it is a great privilege and honor to be a part of the journey through an individual's most challenging and rewarding life experiences. It takes a great deal of courage to seek therapy and look inward to face the parts of ourselves we may be uncomfortable admitting exist. Within every individual is the power to heal themselves and working collaboratively in therapy will help facilitate that realization. My approach focuses on building resilience and hope through a blend of modalities including but not limited to Gestalt, attachment-based, emotion-focused, and existential therapy.

A meaningful life and sense of freedom await on the other side of healing. Congratulations on taking the first step! I specialize in individual therapy for adults, adolescents (ages 12+), and children. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, bereavement, and struggles with adjustment. I work with clients who want a better understanding of their feelings as well as invested in their own healing and self-development.

I offer 100% teletherapy for adults (individuals and couples). The foundation of my practice is based on attachment and guided by research and work by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman. I am passionate about helping others strengthen and build secure attachments. My work is centered around treating anxiety, depression, women’s issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, grief, and attachment disorders. The treatment modalities I utilize are attachment-based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), feminist perspective, the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and Trauma Focused-CBT to name a few.

Do insecurities or anxieties weigh heavily on your mind? Are you grappling with procrastination, feeling inundated with tasks? Perhaps recent life changes or world events have left you feeling drained and disheartened? Have you ever felt sidelined or marginalized? If any of these resonate with you, therapy offers a supportive avenue for healing. It's time you feel happy, empowered, motivated, secure, supported, confident, and loved. Together, we'll clarify your goals, implement actionable steps, and forge a path toward a fulfilling life that resonates with your core values.

I have worked with individuals in a variety of settings since 2014. I have served individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds such as military families, minority groups, immigrants, and refugees. Most of my work focuses on helping clients find their strengths and use them to manage life stressors, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, trauma, and acculturation.

Are you carrying attachment injuries, whether it's family dynamics, generational traumas, or feeling disconnect in your relationships? Are you ready to change old patterns, and build stronger, more meaningful connections? Do you desire someone to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and perhaps even a touch of humor because, really, who says therapy can't have its lighter moments? Then, you're in the right space!

Does it feel like no matter what you do, things never change? You’re running on all cylinders, trying to be everything for everyone, including yourself. You tell everyone that you are fine. Managing. But you’re noticing how it’s impacting you. You realize that things need to change. Whether you're experiencing the impacts of systemic oppression, self-esteem, or relationship issues, know that you don't have to be alone in this journey. No two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand and address the root cause of those issues.

Do you struggle with tunnel vision? Do you battle Anxiety, Depression, or hopelessness? Do you wonder if counseling will work for you? What’s the point? Leaning towards personal growth and development can take a major leap of faith especially if every day, every moment can be difficult. Life is more than meaningless repetition. Do you want to learn how to incorporate mindfulness and coping skills to decrease your symptoms? Do you desire change in your life? Give me a call, I offer a free 30-min consultation. *Available Evenings & Weekends

***Serving all of Washington state via Telehealth*** Much of adolescence and adulthood is reprogramming systems that have been put in place since childhood. I help individuals adapt to challenging life transitions as well as those wanting to understand and reconnect with themselves to find their sense of meaning in the world. My main purpose is to help others reach their potential in living a happy, healthy, and satisfying life.

In this line of work, it is amazing to see how positive progress is made with patients and how much their lives improve thanks to achieving small victories and through community resources/services. I would like to work with folks who seek to better themselves and create positive change in their lives. Together we could develop coping skills and build upon your strengths to enhance your quality of life.

I lead with an open heart when sharing space with folks and welcome the vastness of the human experience and all that comes with it: identity exploring, generative conflict, and reflective self-analysis. I enjoy working with folks navigating transitions, moral injury (burnout), and complex trauma. When working with me, you can expect transparency and direct communication, which contribute to my therapeutic approach including client-led conversations, collaborative goal setting, community-centric applications, trauma-informed care, and a liberation-focused lens.
