Suffering can be emotional pain, physical pain, pain caused by love, death, or even loss. Sometimes our suffering can be more than we can bear and we need help to understand the source of our pain and acceptance of it. Very often we are unaware of the thoughts that cause us pain. By becoming aware of the thoughts behind suffering, you can change the thoughts and promote peace. In other words, you can condition yourself to believe and behave differently and eventually suffering diminishes.

Do you find it difficult to talk openly with your partner about sex? Have barriers to intimacy led to a growing disconnect in your relationship? Could you use the help of a trained professional to safely and thoroughly explore, understand, and address your sexual concerns? I work with kinky, non-monogamous, and LGBTQIA+ people to address communication difficulties, sexual performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, infidelity, and "addictions" to porn, sex, and substances. I also help straight-identified men understand and appreciate their attraction to trans women.

Athletes or professionals, if you or someone you know struggles with anxiety, grief/loss or addiction, let me help! As a former collegiate athlete and current sports enthusiast, there are complexities that an athlete or professional experiences: pressures of in-game performance, managing high stress, season or career ending injuries, or life transitions after sports career ends. All of these can produce intense anxiety, grief/loss and addiction which can cause shameful, intrusive thought patterns. I focus on combating shame by expanding healthy coping strategies, increasing self kindness, and understanding family patterns.

I help people get unstuck, break free, find clarity, and move forward. When we work together, you will experience a space free of judgment and full of grace and understanding, you will also experience challenges to set aside behaviors that no longer serve you, and you'll be encouraged to identify with the bravest, kindest, most hopeful part of yourself. My clients often say to me with a smile, "you are harder on me than my previous therapist(s)" and my response is often the same, "It's because I believe in you." And I do! You've got a beautiful life to get on living.

Accepting clients Apr 2024. Without judgment, I help clients overcome addictions to alcohol, weed, sex, food, and hard drugs by helping them face the very difficult triggers behind the addictions itself (such as unaddressed depression, trauma, and self esteem, etc; I particularly work with sexual addictions). This approach can be very emotionally difficult, so I recommend only clients who are ready for major life changes apply.

We all want to be happy, feel fulfilled, be at peace and enjoy our days free from chronic worry, painful memories, behaviors and relationships that interfere with peace in the present moment and beyond. Yet experience tells us that suffering is inevitable-it is a part of life. Healing is moving through and beyond suffering and limitation, transforming suffering into freedom and personal power. My practice focus is on strategies and practices to heal, transform and find meaning and purpose.

Insight Care Counseling: The beauty of this -our shared life’s journey- is that we can aspire to embody its greatest gifts -love, fulfillment, clarity and peace. And yet, at times, we encounter challenges and changes that bring forth feelings of stress, depression, anxiety -or numbness and disorientation. And it is often at these junctures that psychotherapy can help; for in essence, the therapeutic journey is about finding richness even while in the land of disenchantment … and healing even while walking through pain.

Being a human being is an amazing, terrifying, and sometimes really confusing and painful experience. We all live through these things, some of us are more familiar with depression, anxiety, avoidance, or hyper fixation on trying to control everything so that you KNOW that it's all the way it should be. These are just a few of the symptoms of the human condition. When we can step back and look at them with a different set of tools we can build awareness of how we may be able to approach these feelings with a more useful perspective. This leads us to feeling more grounded and in control of our physical, mental, and spiritual goals.

My goal as a therapist is to help you recognize your strengths, your ability to evolve. I would rather assist you in uncovering and learning how to use your own power than you feeling you are seeing me because I have all the answers. Your inner guiding intelligence has better answers and the ability to heal. We just have to connect you to that. Sometimes there are blockages inside us too, like boulders in the middle of our path. I can help you learn how to clear them so you can walk your own path and lead a more joyful, fulfilling life. I'm looking forward to meeting the wonderful you that you are.

Together, we can be in better understanding of how you've come to story your life - challenging the limiting influence of messages that sound like "what should be" and "what's supposed to be" - and come into more preferred ways of being. I am guided to support you through sex and gender issues, identity development across different contexts like age and culture, relationship problems, and life transitions by my own experiences in the identities I hold as a queer, 1st generation Filipino-American as well as my training and values as a therapist. We may encounter difficult moments together, but I'll be with you every step of the way!
