I was born and raised in New York to first generation immigrant parents. I was able to see firsthand how the topic of mental illness has always been stigmatized within these vulnerable communities. I have entered the field as a mental health counselor to shatter the barriers to mental health care and end the stigma within these communities. I believe that growing up in an immigrant family can help me understand you as a person, regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity. My multicultural competency and ability to see different perspectives enables me to meet people of all different backgrounds where they are.
I incorporate a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, where we work together to understand your concerns and remove the barriers that are preventing you from flourishing. My integrative, therapeutic approach is through a social justice-oriented lens, which helps me provide you with culturally competent treatment. I will be open and nonjudgmental to your experiences and help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. My greatest strength is the ability to empathize and listen to you as the client. We will get to the root of the issue, no matter how challenging it may feel. I will guide you through the barriers in your present, as well as past events that are still holding you back. I believe that our work together can help you understand what has led you to your current circumstances, as well as what changes are possible. I will help monitor your progress toward your goals.

Your new life is going to cost you your old one. Rooted in compassion and sincerity, my goal is to continuously challenge you in unlocking a more authentic, unapologetic version of yourself. Therapy can be daunting, especially when growth often means sacrificing comfort. However, when you sit in that chair across the room or on the other side of the screen from me, I am present, here-and-now, with your voice every step of the way.
As your therapist, I aim to understand your story through my curiosity about your unique experiences. My work is guided with humility, open-mindedness, and cultural sensitivity. With an integrative approach, I utilize different elements from cognitive, psychodynamic, and strengths-based therapy to cater my guidance and meet you where you're at.
As a Filipina-American daughter of immigrant parents, I witness life through the lens of how your identities impact your experiences, especially within marginalized communities. I draw largely from a multicultural counseling theoretical approach to understand how your intersectional identities, upbringing, and experiences may come into play with your mental health journey. As human beings, we are more alike than we are different. In our therapeutic alliance, I am committed to finding that connection despite our differences and welcome you to bring your beliefs and identities to the table.
I earned a B.S. in Developmental Psychology and a B.S. Public Health from the University of California, San Diego. I completed my M.A. in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University, Steinhardt. I'm always looking forward to endless learning, curiosity, and discovery along the way.
My goal as a therapist is to prioritize your safety and well-being by fostering a supportive and comfortable environment in which you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I aim to provide thoughtful guidance and practical resources that empower you to move toward a healthier and more fulfilled sense of self. Together, we will work to identify and overcome the obstacles that may be hindering your growth.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, multicultural frameworks, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to create a personalized and effective treatment experience.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Baylor University, where I served as a Mental Health Peer Leader and as an Interfaith Fellow for Better Together. In 2022, I completed my master’s degree in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling at New York University.
