In a society that requires us to move quickly through grief, it can feel overwhelming to contain our feelings around loss in effort to keep it all together and continue showing up for others. Many of my clients are navigating change and loss brought by death, coming out, aging parents, and cancer. I’m passionate about supporting adults looking to reconnect with themselves and their creativity in the face of death and loss; queer and trans Asian Americans who want to feel connected to their families of origin while being true to their identities and politics; and partners navigating change as they come into consensual non-monogamy.

As a queer Filipino therapist, my role is to help you feel grounded in a sense of self, agency, creativity, and self-trust. We’ll work together to help you cultivate a relationship with your grief after loss, your empathy and attunement towards others’ needs, and all the parts of yourself—so that life can feel less overwhelming and confining.

I believe that healing happens when we strengthen our relationship with ourselves and feel a sense of safety and connection with others. I know how liberating it can be to explore how systemic oppression and what’s happening locally and globally influences the stressors you experience, the stories you internalize about yourself, and how you cope.
