I work with adults across all ages. I help people experience relief from shame, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and inner criticism through self-understanding, self-exploring, and self-compassion. Hearing people out and providing support for healing is my mission as a therapist. I am bilingual and fluent in English and Mandarin.

Sarina is a very warm and easy to talk to. Talking to her has provided with so much valuable insight that I didn't even know I needed. I have grown so much and learned so much about myself through our sessions. I had previous experiences where the interactions with the therapist felt very impersonal and I didn't feel like I was actually being heard or understood. Sarina makes you feel comfortable enough to open up the stuff you don't want to face and offers her advice and different approaches to help.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am also a first-generation immigrant and mother. My life experiences in decades-long work with multinationals, living in different countries, and raising my children in different cultures have broadened and elevated my compassion and empathy for the uniqueness of each individual's suffering and pain.

It's been 4 months since I started sessions with Ms. Reyes. Before that, I had no experience with therapy. I feel that she truly understands me and what I am feeling and has helped me navigate through difficult times. It is truly a safe space. I strongly would and have already recommended her to a friend. However, it is true that not all therapists are a right fit. As a Filipino-American, having a Filipina therapist is so helpful because of the shared culture. Other friends who are not Filipino may not feel the same connection that I feel with Ms. Reyes and may feel more comfortable with someone else within their ethnicity. Overall, I feel very lucky to have her support and be her client.
