  • My Approach

    I use evidence-based approaches and I work from an eclectic approach drawing mainly from Compassion-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I work from a multicultural, and intersectional feminist lens which informs my understanding of how systemic oppression and discrimination affects quality of life and well-being. I have worked with individuals presenting with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem resulting from trauma, discrimination, abuse, invalidation, isolation, chronic pain, and burnout. I also support individuals who are struggling with body image, eating disorders and disordered eating. As a BIPOC individual, I have lived and academic research experience on the damaging physical and psychological effects of discrimination. Therefore, I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals experiencing discrimination and helping them find their voice.

  • My Philosophy

    I value creating a safe, compassionate, empathetic, and authentic space for you to tell your story, heal from your experiences, cultivate self-compassion, explore your values, and work toward self-fulfillment.

  • My Why

    I have always had a genuine interest in listening to people's life stories growing up, plus I have been in a helper role for most of my life #bigsisterenergy. So with these things in mind, becoming a therapist felt natural. Along with that, increasing the Southeast Asian (Filipino) representation in this field was one of my biggest motivators for getting into this field. It is such a privilege and a passion of mine to provide culturally-sensitive therapy for those who want a therapist that looks like them and gets the norms of their culture!
