a licensed psychologist for 14 years with over two decades of experience, specializing in psychotherapy and holistic wellness retreats.

Experience my conversational, down-to-earth, collaborative therapeutic style that allows organic connection to your life story. Drawing upon various treatment approaches, including Mindfulness, Humanistic, Emotionally Focused (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapies, I seamlessly integrate these with comprehensive psychological assessment for a personalized therapeutic experience. A strength-based approach guides the journey toward well-being and personal growth.

I specialize in treating:

Skillfully guiding individuals through various life transitions.

My expertise extends to supporting individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, including various racial identities, interracial unions, sexual orientations, and gender expressions. Recognizing the importance of providing culturally sensitive care and encouraging patients to explore their cultural and familial roots is central to my therapeutic approach.

Leadership and Career Development

Immersed in the world of sports during my upbringing, including playing collegiate basketball and coaching youth sports, I developed early leadership skills that have profoundly shaped my mindset. Drawing from this dynamic foundation and a firm belief in the power of collective success, I offer a perspective that enriches our therapeutic journey.

A notable aspect of my career development is supervising and mentoring staff, showcased in roles such as Chief Psychologist and Clinical Director of a psychiatric hospital. Within these roles, I led and developed effective multidisciplinary processes, supervised multi-disciplinary treatment teams, and ensured a high standard of care and professionalism.

In my professional journey, I have garnered recognition for consistently delivering exceptional service and exceeding job responsibilities. The commitment and passion I bring to providing outstanding care are personal values that resonate profoundly throughout our therapeutic journey.

Commitment to Continuous Learning

Connect with a practitioner dedicated to continuous learning and ongoing training in diverse areas, including mindfulness, emotionally focused therapy, and Gottman’s method couple’s therapy. I recognize the immense value of evidence-based practices in healing. My journey extends beyond conventional psychology, as I draw inspiration from Eastern philosophy and holistic healing practices.

Here’s how my training has enriched my therapeutic approach:

Evidence-Based Foundations

I have consistently expanded my knowledge base within psychology, staying informed about the latest research and evidence-based interventions. This commitment ensures that I offer effective and validated techniques to my clients.

Integration into Psychotherapy

With confidence, I integrate breath work and meditation techniques into retreats and psychotherapy sessions. By combining Western psychological principles with ancient Eastern wisdom, I create a holistic and enriching therapeutic experience for my clients.

Mentorship in Meditation

I embarked on a transformative 1-on-1 mentorship to deepen my understanding and practice of meditation. Through this experience, I gained profound insights into fostering self-awareness, inner calm, and emotional balance. Breath work and meditation became powerful tools for my personal and professional growth.

Personal Insights

As a therapist, my professional expertise is complemented by personal experiences that shape my understanding and approach. Here’s a glimpse into who I am:

Being a mother of two children provides me with valuable insights into family dynamics, parenting challenges, and the delicate balance between personal and professional responsibilities. I empathize with the complexities of juggling roles and responsibilities.

As a second-generation Filipino American, I bring firsthand knowledge of navigating diverse cultural contexts. I recognize the nuances of cultural identity development and appreciate the richness that each person’s background contributes to their well-being.
In our therapeutic journey together, I honor both your unique experiences and the shared human condition. Let’s explore, learn, and grow together!
