With so much happening in the world, it can be difficult finding a therapist that “gets” you. As a 1.5 generation Filipina-American, I strive to provide culturally-attuned services because feeling understood impacts the effectiveness of treatment. I specialize in working with adults with immigrant parents and Asian-Americans (S.E. Asians, Filipinos). Mental health continues to be stigmatized and overlooked in many cultures. It is time for change because depression, anxiety, and family conflict can leave you feeling lonely, defeated and exhausted! Getting help for your mental health needs is an act of courage, not shame.
I’ve been privileged to work with clients in medical and mental health settings since 2011. I’ve learned that a healthy therapeutic relationship with collaboration can promote trust, healing and growth. Fostering a safe and private space is a must! People are truly resilient and can thrive in relationships with themselves, others and the world around them.
My goal is to help you gain clarity, insight, and skills to move forward in your life. I use a psychodynamic framework with research-based modalities (CBT & AEDP). I love using an empowerment approach! I also provide Corporate Coaching for Professionals.
