Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or navigating a major life transition? Perhaps your child is struggling with emotional regulation, behavior challenges, self-esteem, or adjusting to changes at home, school, or within relationships. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, therapy can provide a safe space to better understand your experiences, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. I work with children ages 7 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and adjustment-related issues. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.
 

My therapeutic approach is grounded in collaboration, authenticity, and meeting each client where they are. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns while developing practical skills to manage emotions and navigate daily challenges. I also incorporate expressive arts and play therapy techniques, particularly when working with children and adolescents, to encourage self-expression, creativity, and emotional processing in developmentally appropriate ways.
 

As a Filipina, first generation immigrant, therapist, I understand how culture, family dynamics, identity, and community can shape the way we experience mental health and healing. Growing up in a culture where mental health conversations were often limited has deepened my appreciation for creating spaces where people feel comfortable discussing their emotions without judgment. My background in social work, mental health, education, and youth advocacy has strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care. If you’re interested in learning more about working together, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
