Types of Services
Child Therapy and Parent Support
Children are amazing individuals learning and engaging in their world. At this time, they are still developing the language and interpretation of how the world works. I provide a structured, safe place and engage children with play therapy. I use a variety of materials and activities to help them understand and process their emotions, build social and emotional skills, and resolve psychological and interpersonal conflicts.
Individual Therapy for Teens and Adults
I focus on rapport and building your trust to learn about your world and how this has impacted you. I do my best to support you in prioritizing internal and external safety, identifying your needs, learning and practicing how to regulate and repair ruptures within you and your relationships with others.
Consultation and Collaboration
I value the importance of having a cohesive understanding of you or your child’s needs. I do my best to make time to observe, coordinate care and seek collateral information in order to improve clinical outcomes and ensuring holistic care.
Supervision
Our work together is a structured, individualized relationship-based process where we learn and value our clients’ and our own experiences, and help develop skills to ensure ethical practice and support our personal and professional well-being.
I am a 1st generation Filipina, with learned from experience of culture shock, racism, and acculturation. I found and learned the value of support, resources, and strength not just from my own experience, but from clients, families, and colleagues. I am grateful to have work experiences in non-profit agencies, and working with the team and supervisees. In transition to private practice, I found the need to continue and specialize in supporting clients struggling with severe anxiety such as Selective Mutism, social anxiety, complex trauma , and support others in this field.
I enjoy spending time playing and being in nature with my family. I also recently learned playing D&D and love gardening, and DIY home projects-though some still half completed. I grew up with fear of cats but this past couple of years, I have a newfound love being a cat parent.
As a therapist, I provided services in non-profit agencies and working in school-based counseling, and crisis interventions in the community or at home.
