Mental health may not be prioritized in your culture or family; as a 1.5 generation Filipina-American immigrant, I understand the complexities of finding your own path to healing. I work with individuals and couples with relationship conflicts, childhood trauma and systemic wounding. You may have never had the chance to figure out what you want/need—this might show up as anxiety, depression, difficulty forming or keeping relationships or feelings of unworthiness. You’re struggling with feeling stuck and are ready for something different. Together we can explore what needs healing so you may find the ease and health that you deserve.
As an Integrative Gestalt therapist, I consider each person the expert of their own experience. I support bringing awareness to your whole self in the present moment—mind, body and spirit. Through this approach, we may find more context to your pain, new choices and new ways of being. I also utilize EMDR (in training), IFS & decolonized depth therapy.
Therapy can be a place to give breathing room to the challenges that you may be holding. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you are taking another step on this path, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free 30-minute consultation to see how we can work together to support you on your healing journey.
