My approach to counseling

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or distant. I offer a supportive, affirming space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and start reconnecting with yourself. We’ll work together to untangle what’s been holding you back – so you can build more meaningful relationships, feel more secure in who you are, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.

As a Filipino-American therapist, I’m committed to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care. I work from an anti-oppression, anti-racist, and Health at Every Size lens, and I’m proud to support the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

My style is collaborative and flexible. I draw from emotion-focused, narrative, psychodynamic, existential, and solution-focused approaches – always guided by what feels right for you. You set the pace, and I’ll meet you there.

I have experience in working with

-Helping individual teens and adults navigate complex and challenging emotional states, such as depression, anxiety, grief, self-doubt, and shame

-Assisting individuals and couples practice honest, vulnerable, and healthy communication of their needs and longings

-Addressing suffering from a holistic framework that honors your unique history, biology, relationships, and intersecting identities

-Collaborating with trusted family, friends, and other providers on your care team to ensure you have the support you need even after we’re done working together
