My main passion is developing healthy relationships. Whether through individual or couples work, I help my clients explore how their mental health issue (e.g. depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and sexual addiction) deeply connects, impacts, and is expressed in their relationships. By learning how we perpetuate pain develop through the experiences of our past, we can grow, break old patterns, and develop ones that will foster peace.
I am a second generation Filipino-American, son of immigrants, husband, and father of three. I walk with my clients as they develop insight, emotional-regulation skills, and compassion in their journey of seeking healing. I also focus on restoring reciprocal relationships through the hard work of reconciliation, compassion, forgiveness, and behavior change.
Some of the hardest parts of getting therapy is: admitting you need help & making a call to a therapist. I invite you to reach out to me for a consultation so you can get the support that you need and the help that you want.

I partner with couples and individuals on their journey of understanding how their pain interacts with the people/world around them. With empathy, curiosity, and emotionally corrective experiences, your time with me would involve not only critical insight but developing tools to actually change unwanted behaviors.

I primarily use Restoration Therapy that not only involves crucial emotional and relational insight but also focuses on actual and practical emotional regulation and behavior change. This is accomplished by understanding and our cycle of pain so we are not captive by our emotions but can validate them and change behavior to create cycles of peace.
