Hello! Kumusta?

I'm honored that you've found your way here. Maligayang pagdating. Tuloy po kayo!

I am a Filipina bilingual therapist offering trauma-focused individual therapy virtually throughout California. I provide sessions in English and Tagalog.

My mission is to facilitate deep, personal healing that ripples outward, transforming individuals into agents of connection and support in their families and communities.

Wherever you are on your journey, welcome. I'm so glad our paths have crossed.

Kung handa ka nang maghilom, handa akong tumulong.

“May all that is unlived in you blossom into a future graced with love.”

Who I Work With

My door is open to all, but my work often resonates most deeply with those who see their own stories reflected in these experiences. We might be a good fit if:

  • You identify as Filipino/a/x or Asian-American, seeking to understand the quiet weight of intergenerational patterns and cultural expectations.

  • You are Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color (BIPOC) searching for a therapeutic space where you don't have to constantly explain yourself.

  • You are a survivor of complex trauma or intimate partner violence looking for a safe, compassionate space to heal from the past without judgment.

  • You are feeling exhausted, burnt out, or weighed down by compassion fatigue from navigating demanding systems—whether at work or in life.

Work With Me

EMDR, DBT, and Holistic Trauma Recovery

I provide trauma-focused care using an integration of two powerful evidence-based modalities: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I utilize mindfulness-based approaches, parts work, ecotherapy, and expressive arts as well when appropriate.

Virtual Individual Therapy

Engaging in therapy from a familiar setting can help you feel more relaxed and open, allowing our work to deepen. Virtual sessions provide a flexible option for those seeking support from the comfort and privacy of their own environment. I use a secure and simple-to-use, confidential video platform that allows you to receive support from anywhere in California.

50-minute online session: $200

Walk & Talk Therapy*

“Walk and talk" sessions invite us to step outside the four walls of an office and into the healing presence of nature. As we walk together, the gentle movement and natural environment can help deepen our conversation and unlock new perspectives. If you are seeking a more dynamic and embodied approach to your personal growth, this path may be for you.

45-minute walk & talk session: $175

*I have a waitlist. This will be available Spring of 2026.

DBT Skills Group

In partnership with Sana Therapy Collective, I co-facilitate a structured Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Group designed to help you manage intense emotions, difficult relationships, and stressful situations. We use evidence-based structure and principles of DBT to help you balance acceptance of reality and make positive changes.

90-minute weekly session: $75 per session
