Counseling
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice. I’ve been providing counseling services to adolescents, adults, couples, and families since 2011. I offer you a safe space to talk about what is keeping you from living the life you love. You can expect a therapeutic experience informed by evidence-based psychotherapy methods, as well as expertise in a diverse range of issues: trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, anger management, stress, transitions, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, grief, chronic illness, aging issues, multicultural families, and crisis issues. I speak Tagalog fluently and am conversant in Spanish.
I am trained in EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization Retraining, an evidence-based cognitive method for treating trauma through the processing of traumatic memories. Studies have shown that EMDR is effective in helping to alleviate traumatic memories and adverse life experiences. It is also helpful for anxiety and depression.
My approach is strengths-based and integrates evidence-based psychological methods that have been proven to be effective in alleviating anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. Our work together is a positive, growth-oriented process that is grounded in the philosophy that everyone is seeking their own path to wholeness. I help you develop the tools and skills you need to rediscover purpose and meaning in your life thus bringing back happiness and a life you love!
