I speak some Tagalog!


Lady’s Specialties:

Anxiety

Trauma

Grief & Transitions

I work with young adults managing anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, and grief. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, we'll create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.


My communication style

I walk beside you through self-exploration, processing, and healing. You are the expert in your care, and I provide a gentle, motivating space. You can expect humor, patience, flexibility, and reflection.

My journey to mental healthcare

My lived experience and commitment to anti-oppression and liberation inform my practice. I've worked in diverse settings including preventive care, LGBTQIA+ communities, and unhoused youth. I'm an advocate for social justice and equal representation.

My goals for you

Together, we'll explore relationships, behavioral patterns, and barriers that may be getting in the way of where you'd like to be. Our work focuses on helping you feel more empowered and in control of your life.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll create a warm, collaborative space where you can share your story and we'll begin exploring your goals together.


Approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, giving you hands-on tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. I also offer art therapy to challenge perfectionism, allowing us to play and reconnect with our inner child when words aren't enough.
