I identify as a BIPOC, first-generation immigrant woman, and my personal experiences with both mental health and immigration continue to shape how I show up in the therapy space. I’m particularly passionate about supporting Filipino/Filipinx and other immigrant communities as they navigate the complex intersections of cultural identity, family expectations, and emotional well-being.

Growing up, I both witnessed and experienced the stigma surrounding mental health, especially within immigrant families and cultural contexts where emotional needs were often minimized or dismissed. These experiences have deeply informed my commitment to providing culturally responsive therapy that is grounded in anti-oppressive values.

I believe healing begins when individuals feel safe to express themselves fully, without fear of judgment, and are met with empathy, respect, and understanding as they move through their challenges.

I create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, grounding my approach in empathy and curiosity while honouring their expertise in their own healing.

I draw from my diverse professional experiences, including working in end-of-life care and with individuals living with HIV/AIDS, to provide deep listening and empathy during times of vulnerability and transition.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing primarily from Person-Centred Therapy while incorporating modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I adapt these approaches to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to walk alongside you with warmth, respect, and support.

The journey may not always be easy, but it is one of self-discovery and growth that we can navigate together.

Navigating life’s various fluctuations and the challenges that arise can be difficult to do so on your own. As such, I strive to support those seeking self-attunement, guiding you to enhance and build on your existing skills and insights to address issues contributing to your emotional and relational distress.

I firmly believe in centering clients’ experiences and the power of empathy, curiosity, open-mindedness, and collaboration as integral to therapy. I aim to create an encouraging therapeutic space where you can explore your own unique path to personal awareness, growth, healing and self-determination as guided by you.

• My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic, integrative, relational, and trauma-informed, drawing from narrative therapy, ACT, DBT, CBT, somatic, existential, expressive arts, IFS/parts work, and other modalities tailored to clients’ current needs.

• I have significant experience working with individuals who are racialized, queer, neurodivergent and those managing anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, identity issues, interpersonal issues, intergenerational and complex trauma, among other presenting concerns.

• My lived experience as a racialized, queer, neurodivergent, 1.5 generation immigrant, and my navigation of the mental health system has strengthened my commitment to fostering mental and emotional well-being with an anti-oppressive and intersectional lens.

• My extensive work in community engagement, which includes hands-on experiential and nature-based activities with diverse populations, has contributed to my flexibility and creativity as a therapist.

I am committed to continuous learning and growth through professional development, clinical supervision, and my own personal therapy. I believe that actively engaging in this ongoing process enhances my ability to support and guide clients effectively.

**Caseload full, booking open to current clients only!

I’m an AuDHD (autistic & ADHD) psychotherapist with experience in supporting neurodivergent communities, racialized individuals, and survivors of gender-based violence. Myself and many of the folks I’ve worked with have often been labeled by others as “weird”, “lazy”, “awkward”, and/or “full of untapped potential”. My hope is that we can remove these unhelpful external labels and replace them with ones that you write yourself – ones that you can be proud of.

My work is informed by my experiences as a bi, neurodivergent, southeast asian, cisgendered woman.

As a person who has experienced many imbalances of power due to systems of oppression, I try to share power in the therapy space whenever I can by working from an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens.

I aim to use the therapeutic tools and strategies that best fit your needs and not try to fit your concerns into just one modality, therefore, I use a variety of different techniques that come from Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, focusing-oriented therapy, polyvagal theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I’m committed to my own personal and professional growth as a therapist and am currently learning more about other modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), so I can better serve you.
