warm, empathic, and at ease. Clients feel celebrated in their strengths and held in their moments of vulnerability, all while cracking a joke or two.

I work from the inside out: learn to slow down, listen to your body's intuition, allow yourself to experience and express emotions, and become aware of your triggers and unhealthy patterns so you can come to a place of self-acceptance and compassion.

unpack and process past trauma (childhood, intergenerational, racial), inner child healing, learn coping strategies, how to set healthy boundaries, improve relationship with yourself and with others, prevent burnout, gain self-compassion/acceptance

cycle-breakers (breaking away from trauma), perfectionists, people-pleasers, overfunctioners (burnout), highly sensitive people, women, AAPI, BIPOC, immigrant and children of immigrants, LGBTQIA+ with loud Inner Critics and a wounded Inner Child

I have experienced firsthand the mental health needs and lack of representation and support for AAPI/BIPOC youth and adults.

I am flexible - either telehealth or in-person at our cozy and beautiful office. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for you.

As a 1.5 gen Filipino-American therapist, I am culturally responsive to my clients' points of intersectionality. I am Attachment and strengths-based, and pull from EFT, somatics, IFS parts work, and other theories to meet my clients' unique needs.
