About
You might’ve considered therapy for a while or are seeking a new therapist for a new life chapter. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unable to relax, or even buried underneath your life and are wondering how you ended up here. Maybe it started at a certain job, a school, a move, a relationship change, a loss, or when you developed a condition. Or maybe it started earlier in life. This may sound especially familiar to those who are:
• LGBTQIA+
• neurodivergent
• chronic conditions
• disability
• first-gen
• working in/retiring from tech, entertainment, or finance
I am a licensed psychologist providing individual therapy with adults and older adults via telehealth throughout California. I speak English, Tagalog, Ilocano, & Hawaiian Pidgin. Most of my clients feel something fundamental isn’t working anymore. They may try their best to function on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside, have trauma, relationship pain, worry constantly, or feel low mood. There is hope.
From vast backgrounds, I have worked collaboratively with individuals so that they feel less overwhelmed by difficult emotions, respond differently to familiar situations, and take meaningful steps towards their goals. You don’t have to perform or hold it all together. Contact me today to discuss how therapy may be helpful to you.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, ENM-poly-and-kink aware, and sex positive. I am also COVID-conscious.
I also provide gender affirming support letters.
