You might’ve considered therapy for a while, or are seeking a new therapist for a new life chapter. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unable to relax, or even buried underneath your life and are wondering how you ended up here. Maybe it started at a certain workplace, a school, a move, a relationship change, a loss, or when you developed a condition. Or maybe it started earlier in life. This may sound especially familiar to those who are: LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, have chronic conditions, disability, first-gen, or are working in/retiring from tech, entertainment, or finance.

I am a licensed psychologist providing individual therapy with adults and older adults via telehealth video throughout California.  I speak English, Tagalog, Ilocano, & Hawaiian Pidgin. Most of my clients feel something fundamental isn’t working anymore. They may try their best to function on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside, have trauma, relationship pain, worry constantly, or feel low mood. There is hope.

From vast backgrounds, the people I’ve worked with have embraced healthier ways of living, developed a sense of stability, or grown in ways they felt was beyond repair. You don’t have to perform or hold it all together. Contact me today to discuss how therapy may be helpful to you.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, ENM-poly-and-kink aware, and sex positive. I am also COVID-conscious.

I also provide gender affirming support letters. Some physicians and medical insurance companies may require an assessment and letter from a licensed psychologist supporting your gender affirming procedure.
