Therapy is an opportunity to regain a sense of control to navigate stressors, life transitions, and losses. Whether these events are expected or unexpected, they often challenge the trust we have in ourselves to confront them. I also strongly believe that culture plays a critical role in identity, and I tailor my approach to honor the ways your culture shapes your experience both inside and outside of our sessions. As a Filipina-American, I have a particular interest in supporting people in the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, as we are uniquely impacted by immigration, family, and intergenerational dynamics. With experience in medical settings supporting individuals and families facing chronic illness, I use expertise in palliative care and grief counseling. Through evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and meaning-centered therapy, we’ll explore thought patterns and behaviors. Together, we'll set realistic goals to deepen trust in yourself to achieve them. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation where I can learn how I may best support your needs at this time.
