You've been rotting in bed and now here you are, looking for a therapist. When you are hit with feeling overwhelmed, your go-to response is to people-please. However lately, you find yourself saying that you are a burden because you just can't do it all. When you have been swept up by emotions, feeling truly understood by others is a foreign experience. Sure, you are used to doing whatever needs to be done, yet secretly, your heart is aching for someone to consider how you are feeling for once. But then you stop yourself from reaching out because you don't want to look like you don't have it all together.
As a therapist, I am committed to being fully present in our work so that you can know that when you feel inadequate, you have someone who is curious to explore that feeling with you rather than prescribe you cookie-cutter advice. I aim to be a therapist who sees you as capable AND human at the same time, because I recognize I am human too.
Together, we will use art therapy to explore how to love yourself as you are. No formal art training is necessary, just a willingness to create. My lived experience involves navigating life as a creative Filipino / Asian American immigrant. Let's make a door in your heart, 24/7 booking available on my website.
