My Affiliation

 

I am a proud member of Axis Mundi Center for Mental Health, an East Bay non-profit dedicated to offering culturally respectful and inclusive care. Its mission is the product of years of experience (and frustration) in the mental health field, where affordable, culturally competent therapy is as rare as it is needed.

My Therapeutic Approach

 

Many people today value therapy attuned to their lived experience, and this is why I’m passionate about working with clients living with intersectional identities. As a member of BIPOC, Queer, and Neurodivergent communities, I’m proud to serve clients struggling under the weight of systemic oppression. First-generation and decolonizing clients, especially Filipinx/Asian people, will readily find a home with me. If you’re a witch, kinky person, polyam adventurer, or other unconventional sort of human, I want to support you. 

 

To me, therapy is truly a magical space. Its structure allows us to touch every corner of our experience in a profound way, yet it is a place apart from our daily lives, a realm between the real and not-real. It’s a space to imagine and reimagine, to experiment, to grieve our lost loves, to transform, to crash out and lose ourselves, and to learn from wise and sometimes unexpected parts of ourselves. As a therapist, it is a gift to be a witness and guide to your process in our little laboratory. Whatever the result, we’re learning and growing through our experiences together, and when you’re ready, you can carry what you’ve learned into your real life and relationships. 

 

I’m not a sit-back-and-watch kind of therapist. I want to collaborate, to get excited about your experiences, and to tell you point-blank what I see when we arrive somewhere. If you work with me, you’ll know and feel my presence beside you every step of the way. I’m not afraid to take a leap with you into the mystery of self, and I’m here to catch you if we leap too far. 

 

If you’re ready to confront the real, if you’re seeking what lies at the heart of it all, I’m here to begin that work with you. Let's tap into your magic.

What I Offer

 

I see individual and couples psychotherapy virtually through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform called thera-LINK or alternatively via phone call sessions.

The People I Work With

 

Though I am open to working with many types of clients, I have a special interest in building relationships with people who share some of my experiences and values. I love working with:

  • BIPOC people, especially Asian, Filipinx, and Pacific Islanders 

  • LGBTQ community

  • Neurodivergent individuals

  • People in the process of decolonizing

  • People aligned with earth-based spirituality and ancestral work

  • Polyamorous and ENM people

  • Survivors of abuse and trauma

  • People seeking self-esteem and empowerment

It is important to me that clients are fully informed and consenting to all of my professional practices. For more specific information about how I address issues related to ethics, the law, and meeting standards of care, you can review some of my key consent documents below.
