My communication style

My communication style is open, warm, and non-judgmental. I utilize active listening to give you my full attention while you talk. The therapeutic communication is very essential to achieve your needs and goals; therefore, I can help you recognize possibilities in your lives and replace life patterns that have been the source of your problems.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion to help others led me to take the path of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I started working as a Social Worker in the Philippines in hospital settings and doing field work in rural areas. Since I transitioned working in the USA, I've worked in hospitals, inpatient psych units, hospice, and community mental health centers.

My goals for you

Together we can work on your symptom relief, handle your big feelings without feeling overwhelmed, learn more about yourself, and focus on simple, short-term changes that help track your progress. We can work through your preference for treatment goals depending on what you're hoping to build, shift, or explore.

Our first session

Our first session (starting point) is an introduction to each other. My goal is to keep our conversations natural and helpful, while still covering the essentials. I will listen to your personal circumstances, the reasons you are seeking help, and identify what you hope to change or achieve through therapy. We will work collaboratively.
