About
To seek therapy is courageous and momentum-building, a step towards loving and trusting yourself fully. I know what it can feel like to live with emotional turmoil, uncertainty, and confusion. Sometimes it all feels upside-down. Frustrated by wanting to live up to your potential, but feeling stymied? Unlock and transform your hero's journey! My approach is a creative collaboration - with compassion and curiosity. An invitation to transform and heal via 'wise mind,' where intuition and intellect overlap. Techniques: mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral, somatics, parts work, meditation, trance, exposure, experiential journeys.
I offer brief programs for short-term issues and longer term therapy for overall healing and growth. I am not here to "fix" you, but to help you tap into your true power and life's mission. We work on several levels: alleviating pain points, optimizing parameters to set you up for success, and deepening meaning and inspiration for generative manifestation.
Anxiety is my primary clinical focus. In addition, I specialize in intersectional AltSex communities (LGBTQ+; BDSM; Poly, Sex Work), As a Filipino-American psychologist, I am committed to serving BIPOC clients. A resident of San Francisco for almost 30 years, I align with its eclectic diversity & activist spirit. Learn more at my website. Thank you & Namaste
