Filipino/a/x

As a Tagalog-speaking therapist born in the Philippines, I provide cultural insights and understanding concerning immigration-related issues, colonial mentality, crab mentality, fitting in, grief and loss, family boundaries, and guilt towards upward economic mobility.

If you've been thinking about seeking help for these issues, but are feeling hesitant due to the stigma surrounding mental health, know that I can empathize with your experience. It's understandable to feel apprehensive about reaching out for support.

That said, I invite you to say yes to your health, including your mental health. My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive environment in therapy where you can freely express your emotions and thoughts. You can take your time to process everything without feeling rushed. This space will be a place where you can be entirely yourself and feel supported throughout your journey. I strive to ensure that you feel heard, validated and empowered to make the changes you want in your life.
