About Me

I am a biracial Filipina EMDR trained Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, based in California offering virtual and in-person individual therapy in San Diego, CA (Kumeyaay Land).

I am honored to work with individual adults, with an emphasis on AANHPI/BIPOC, whose cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, LGBTQIA2S+, socioeconomic, immigration or other identities shape their experiences of identity, belonging, and emotional wellbeing. I am passionate about working with survivors of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, or other adverse life experiences. I also have experience working with healthcare professionals, veterans, and active-duty military members, along with their loved ones, who navigate the unique challenges these careers can bring.

I recognize that healing is shaped by the intersection of your identities, relationships, lived experiences, and environments. I approach therapy with an awareness of how intersecting systems of oppression and privilege—including racism, colonization, capitalism, ableism, patriarchy, fatphobia, heterosexism, transphobia, classism, and other forms of structural violence—can shape mental health, relationships, and access to healing.
