My communication style

I utilize motivational interviewing to prioritize your capacity and readiness for change. I adjust to YOUR comfort level of communication and pace of therapeutic processing. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing begins with being seen, heard, and valued.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist due to my experiences as a Filipino immigrant. I saw the challenges of adjusting to a new country and the disparities in knowledge and accessibility in therapy within my culture and other communities of color. What drives me is seeing my clients' emotional growth and newfound feelings of safety within themselves.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative journey, centering your lived experience and cultural identity. By blending evidence-based tools like CBT and ACT, we identify patterns holding you back and build resilient skills to turn "stuckness" into authentic, measurable momentum toward your goals.

Our first session

A first session involves understanding your previous experiences with therapy to gauge your comfort level and readiness for change. Knowing your story and how it shapes your current mental health is the next important focus. Lastly, we develop therapy goals through collaboration, taking into consideration your capacity for growth.
