As you embark on your journey, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore, understand and challenge life experiences that shape our identities and perceptions of the world. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of experience providing therapy and other clinical services to individuals struggling with severe mental illness and addiction, I approach therapy from a holistic and multicultural perspective. As a Mexican and Filipino American woman, I draw on my personal experiences to better understand how cultural factors influence our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us.

In such busy times you may be feeling tired of doing things for everyone else or doing what others want you to do. Possibly tiptoeing around everyone's feelings and ignoring your own. Maybe you grew up fast, taking care of other's needs long before you were old enough to take care of yourself. You could be reaching your limit or know it can’t go on this way. Putting everyone else first can lead to feeling exhausted, overburdened, or taken for granted. You don't have to do it on your own to have more peaceful and happy life. I learned at a young age we can overcome difficulties when we have someone to listen with care and concern.

I hope to give clients an opportunity to feel empowered and in control of their treatment. I believe that many mental health issues stem from or are exacerbated by the current cultural climate we live in. In addition, many of the beliefs we have about ourselves are learned from our families, friends, and societal influences, and those in turn affect our emotions and behaviors. In therapy, we can work together to untangle what beliefs are helping you and which ones are not.

We are not meant to face life’s challenges alone. Whether the challenges we face are external (a major transition, a loss) or internal (low self-worth, defeating or frightening patterns of thought) we need someone to help us acknowledge our pain, hold space for us, as well as facilitate growth and healing. Supporting you in your journey means understanding that I may be an expert in the field, but you are the only expert on you and your own life experiences.

You deserve to be loud, messy, sensitive and angry- and loved exactly for who you are. You’ve gotten used to living with your anxiety, but it’s a struggle. Things are hectic and your mind just never stops. If you’re waiting for the world to slow down, you may be waiting for a while. I know what it’s like to try to control your world through endless schedules and to-do lists, to power through, to live on auto-pilot. To ignore long-held family stories that influence how you show up in the world, to criticize yourself so harshly. Together in therapy, we can begin by helping you slow down enough and get curious about what's next.

Do you ever drive around and think to yourself about the houses you see and how nice they are? Relationships are similar in a sense in that sometimes we see relationships in our lives/media, and can sometimes influence the relationship 'goals' we wish to be. What we aren't usually privy to are the time and small moments stacked together that helped form that relationship to be what it is, much like the house. If we find ourselves constantly arguing or having 'big bad' situations, while they may be triggered in the moment, we don't usually end up there by accident. Something I like to ask is 'Do I make the most of my moments?'

Change is a process that begins with the way one thinks about things. We all experience times of darkness and deep sorrow. We experience anxiety and also struggle with life transitions. Healing comes when we take the time to share our stories, connect with our feelings, and explore our experiences. As you consider therapy, know that feelings of sadness, anxiety, shame, guilt, confusion, and longing are experienced by everyone. Processing what is troubling you can bring a sense of relief and balance. Self awareness can add purpose to your life.

Tired of therapy that overlooks the realities of surviving late-stage capitalism? Look no further. My approach is collaborative and integrative, rooted in a blend of personal experience, radical feminism, and abolitionist perspectives. I work with marginalized individuals as they navigate challenging emotions, process complex trauma, explore intersecting identities, and build healthy, meaningful relationships. Together, we’ll work toward healing from trauma created and perpetuated by interlocking systems of oppression, with a focus on empowerment, resilience, and resistance.
