My communication style

My communication style is adaptable and grounded in meeting clients where they are. Whether you're more reflective, straightforward, or somewhere in between, I adjust my approach to align with your personality and communication preferences. I speak Tagalog fluently.

My journey to mental healthcare

I didn't always imagine myself becoming a therapist. Through my own experience of seeking support during a difficult time, I came to understand just how impactful it can be. That personal journey helped me recognize the value of self-care and the real change that can come from having a safe space to process and grow.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative, goal-oriented approach. Together, we identify what's most important to you, break down challenges into manageable steps, and use practical tools to create meaningful change. I am sensitive to each person's unique history and ensure the pace and process of goal-setting feels safe and empowering.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on building a connection and exploring what brought you to therapy. You'll have the space to share at your own pace, and we'll start identifying your goals. It's completely normal to feel hesitant or unsure in the beginning. You're welcome to ask any questions about the therapy process.

I identify as...
