About My Clients
My clients are searching for deep healing and self-compassion that flows naturally into their daily lives. I work well with folks (15+) of all identities who express concerns related to traumatic experiences (abuse or neglect), relationship wounds, life changes, shame, and self-esteem. I've navigated (and am still navigating) through my lived experiences as a first-generation Asian American, as a woman, and having grown up with limited resources or how to communicate my thoughts and feelings.
My Background and Approach
I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of strength and courage. My goal in our sessions is for you to meet yourself with curiosity and compassion, just as I nurture with you in our time together. I empower my clients to take ownership of their growth process, which is why I mainly use a person-centered approach. Our time will mostly have the natural spontaneity of a conversation while being practical to find the tangible tools you need to cope day-to-day. I also love creative expression, so we can tap into that world in our sessions as well! Therapy with me is a safe space where you can embrace parts of yourself you love and those you may not yet. It's a journey to meet your authentic self, which can be uncomfortable at times, but know that I'll be in your corner for unconditional support. I'm honored to work with clients who take a chance with me, and I'm here for you too when you're ready.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a first-generation American from the Philippines, it was challenging to feel safe with my emotions, which stemmed from cultural and social norms. My aim as a therapist is to assure you that wherever your story and experiences have brought you, you deserve to feel safe and heard. Together, we'll explore the root causes of your struggles to gain a new perspective on your present and empower you to live authentically. Life can be chaotic, but I'm here to provide unwavering support and compassion on your journey.
