About My Clients
My personal identities and background in acting and comedy help me connect with clients and help them feel comfortable, as it is hard to open up to a total stranger. I believe my neurodiversity helps me see patterns that might not have been noticed before, as well as break through barriers in communication. My approach to therapy is integrative, pulling from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, play therapy, multiculturalism, and feminist theory.
My Background and Approach
While I work with children and adults of all ages, my areas of focus and interest are in multiracial/ multicultural issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma, neurodiversity (e.g. ADHD, autism), chronic illness, anxiety, and depression. In my Filipino culture, we have a concept that pre-dates colonization, called “kapwa”, which is the web of interconnectedness of our inner selves and between our fellow humans. It isn’t “you and I” or “us vs them”; it is all of us, altogether, and it is through kapwa which healing humanity can begin.
