I offer a warm, person-centered space to explore life’s challenges—including anxiety, depression, identity, and life transitions—through a lens that honors your humanity, culture, and story. My primary therapeutic approach is to create a space where clients can fully embrace their humanity, even in a world that often doesn’t make room for it. Together, we’ll meet you where you are. I specialize in
helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, identity exploration, and life transitions, drawing on experience from diverse settings including community mental health, advocacy, outpatient care, and youth services. I became a therapist to be the kind of person my younger self needed—someone who offers a safe space to feel deeply, embrace vulnerability, regulate overwhelming emotions, and nurture both self‐compassion and compassion for others. My hope is to be that person for my clients, maybe even for you. As a Filipina‐American and second‐generation immigrant, I also hold space for how culture and intergenerational trauma can shape mental health and identity. When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me with a book in hand, playing video games, napping, or laughing along to Bob’s Burgers. I’m often cuddling my cat, Martian—or trying to keep him from scratching where he shouldn’t. And despite being lactose intolerant, you can count on me to say yes to mac & cheese and ice cream.
