Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. I support those experiencing life changes, such as pregnancy, new parenthood, fertility issues, work stress, divorce, adoption, and traumatic experiences. I specialize in family issues (both families being created and one’s family of origin), especially parents who want to dig into how their life experiences impact them as they raise their own children. I also care deeply about first- and second-generation Americans grappling with the nexus of culture and mental health. I am a proud Filipina, parent of three, and daughter of immigrants.
I view relationships as essential to therapeutic work, both the relationship between us and those in your life. Together, we will build up your strengths and break patterns down to figure out root causes. My therapy style is down-to-earth, nurturing and warm, but I can also be firm and directive when a gentle challenge is needed in order to make progress.
I tailor my approach to the individual needs of each person, based on their passions, life experiences, and strengths. My goal is that, at the end of our work together, you (and your family) will feel more connected and ready to take on whatever comes next. I consider it a privilege to walk beside you on this journey.
