My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a Filipino American, trauma informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I am sincere about practicing cultural humility and mindfulness of one’s intersecting identities. I am an affirming and Christian mental health therapist who provides an option to integrate your faith and spiritual beliefs in our work together. To clarify, all of my services are open to all people. I aim to treat you with respect and dignity and work with your strengths towards your goals regardless of religion you may or may not identify with. As a licensed mental health professional, I welcome and celebrate all faiths and belief systems and will never impose my own spiritual practices on you as this is unethical. I do not try to change your identity, but rather aim to help you find alignment across all parts of what makes you who you are! There is a special place in my heart for being able to integrate faith and spirituality while still providing ethical,professional, and affirming counseling with clients.
