You’ve spent years holding it all together — strong, capable, and always there for everyone else. But lately, you’re tired. Anxious. Disconnected from who you really are. You wonder if anyone truly sees you… or if even you do.

I have worked with clients across the lifespan, and have the most experience working with young adults, children, and families.
My approach begins with active partnership based on a foundation of trust and warmth. I invoke respect, humility, empathy, humor, and unconditional positive regard with every client I work with. I seek to help uncover patterns and themes that guide an individual’s daily and life choices by holding space for whatever may come up in session.

As a queer Filipino American therapist in my 30s, I understand how isolating it can feel to navigate identity, relationships, anxiety, and expectations without a safe space to talk things through. I was born in Los Angeles and moved to Milwaukee in 2020, and rebuilding community in a new city reminded me how important it is to feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about what you’re going through without feeling judged or alone. I often work with people who identify as people-pleasers, caregivers, or peacemakers—those who tend to put others’ needs before their own.

I have been working with families and individuals for 24 plus years.
You don’t have to minimize your story here. I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD. If you’ve lived through trauma or overwhelming experiences, it’s common to worry that talking about it might feel like too much or bring up more than you feel ready to handle. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy (including EMDR) for people who want support working through what happened in a way that feels steady, contained, and not overwhelming.

I specialize in therapy for high-capacity women navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, and trauma across Wisconsin. Many of the women I work with are managing anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, ADHD, or a major life transition. They are often the reliable one—at work, at home, in relationships—but privately exhausted. They want relief from constant mental noise, tools that actually help, and space to untangle what feels heavy without judgment. Their goals aren’t perfection—but steadiness, clarity, and the ability to feel like themselves again.

Life is full of changes and uncertainty, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when things don’t go the way we expected. You may find yourself feeling stuck—especially when the harder you try to fix things, the more frustrated or helpless it feels. You are not alone, and certainly not broken. Often, these experiences reflect patterns shaped by our past experiences, relationships, and the expectations we’ve carried over times. In therapy, we'll work together to understand and gradually shift these patterns, reconnecting with your inner strengths and rebuilding confidence in navigating life’s ups and downs.
