About My Clients
I specialize working with children, adolescents, couples, and families; particularly immigrant families, BIPOC, and marginalized communities.
My Background and Approach
My identities and experiences as a 1.5 generation immigrant from the Philippines, being raised in Los Angeles, and as an educator for over 20 years, I know the impact of harm and losses that carry from generation to generation caused by systems that are not made for us. They surface in our lives and within our relationships. As a couples and family therapist, I am rooted in a systemic approach with children, adolescents, couples, and families. My experiences working with immigrant communities and families as an intern and now as an associate at Stories of Hope, supervised by Rosy De Prado, a narrative therapist of over 20 years, has given me an expansive insight into the complex and beautiful stories of individuals and communities we are a part of. Therapy approaches are: Narrative therapy, Multicultural therapy, Trauma-focused EMDR trained, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Family constellation (ancestral healing), Solution-focused
