About

As a Black Pinay woman from the Bay Area and Maryland, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, deeply rooted in my cultural heritage and personal experiences. My focus is on supporting folks navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma, helping them find their path to healing. I believe in showing up authentically, creating a safe space where clients feel seen and heard without judgment.

I’m passionate about the power of community in the healing process. Together, we explore your journey, embracing the strength that comes from connection and shared experiences. My approach is collaborative, empowering you to discover your own resilience and voice.

During my free time, I cherish moments with my 2 year old and 6-month-old baby, exploring new restaurants in and around the Bay Area, and traveling to new places. Through compassionate guidance and genuine support, I aim to help you reclaim your story and cultivate lasting change. Let’s work together to foster your healing and celebrate the beautiful, multifaceted person you are!
