About Me

I work with adults, couples & teens affected by anxiety, stress, depression and relationship issues. Through my creative self-exploration and therapy I was able to embrace the beauty and challenges of being a girl, woman, partner, and mother; and accept my childhood and adolescent experiences as an American-Filipina. As a minority, I understand the social and generational issues involved with being a minority in the United States. I am eager to help those with difficulty finding their place and voice, help to express emotions, and promote education towards understanding. In our work together, I will support you to face the defenses of self-judgment, loneliness, fear, weakness, and embarrassment to start the emotional navigation process. We sort through the confusion, explore the root of your issues, begin to shed the doubt and empower you towards self-love and acceptance.
