About
I am passionate about empowering adults from ages 18 to 35 as they navigate the challenges, transitions, and opportunities that often coincide with the quarterlife stage. I am here to support you as you explore the complexities of identity, relationships, career choices, and overall well-being. As a second-generation Filipino American, I understand the challenges that come with navigating a life influenced by multiple cultures and the pressure to balance conflicting values. Together, we can reflect upon your values, identify goals and effective coping strategies, and deconstruct social expectations that you feel pressured to meet.
My approach strives for authenticity, as I have found that distress occurs when we make decisions that are not aligned with our true selves. Using a combination of modalities, my integrative and evidence-based approach will be tailored to your specific needs. Together, we can identify your strengths and goals, and explore your past to find patterns of behaviors that have served you well and those that have not. And the social expectations that you have felt pressured to meet? We can deconstruct those and collaborate to help you develop the skills that will allow you to live the life you want to live.
My commitment to you is to offer a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for you to explore all parts of your identity. I’ll meet you where you’re at. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.
