About My Clients
Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where they feel safe to explore their challenges. My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and harness their strengths. Together, we set achievable goals whether it’s improving emotional regulation, healing from trauma, enhancing communication, or building healthier relationships. Clients often leave sessions feeling empowered, with practical tools for growth, healing, and resilience.
My Background and Approach
I take a trauma-focused, decolonized approach, integrating Motivational Interviewing (MI) and a Strengths-Based perspective. Using somatic techniques and evidence-based methods like CBT, TF-ACT, and SFT, I tailor care to your needs. In sex therapy, we’ll explore communication, desire, and sexual diversity. As a financial social worker, I help address financial anxiety, impulsive spending, and fostering a healthier relationship with money. Let’s work together toward growth and empowerment!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I identify as Filipino, and my personal life journey has provided me with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experiences that may resonate with or differ from your own. As a former youth in the foster care system, a member of the LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS community, and an immigrant belonging to a minority group, I possess a deeper understanding of issues such as systemic racism, social stigma, discrimination, marginalization, and oppressive practices.
