Compassionate online psychotherapy for Filipinos and vegans in California
Born in the Philippines and raised in San Francisco, I'm a therapist who brings warmth, compassion, and cultural humility into session. I work primarily with Filipinos, mixed-race individuals, immigrants, vegans, and those with severe mental illness. My style is relaxed and collaborative — sessions feel like talking with a trusted ally. I prioritize that you feel validated, understood, and seen. I meet you where you are and honor your unique pace of growth.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading about personal finance, going for long leisurely walks, traveling, and dreaming of one day living abroad with my wife. I've been vegan since June 2019.

I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a science-backed approach that helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Together, we'll identify what truly matters to you and take concrete steps toward a richer, more purposeful life — even when challenges are still present.
Along with ACT, I practice cultural humility, honoring your intersecting identities and how they shape your mental-health experience.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the 2021 No Surprises Act (effective 1/1/2022), health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services, including psychotherapy.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services.
Make sure your health care providers gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask for your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or send a text message to 415-439-0518.
