Hi there, I'm Charlene!
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, licensed since 2023. As a first-generation Filipina-Chinese American, I understand how culture can shape how we experience life's challenges and major transitions, including how we make sense of what we're going through and how comfortable we feel getting support.
My focus
I primarily work with adults navigating chronic or terminal illness, grief and loss, aging, and major life transitions. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, cultural stress, self-esteem concerns, and questions around identity, meaning, and spirituality.
My approach
My role is to help you slow down your thoughts, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies to build self-confidence and find peace, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Narrative Therapy.
