Expertise

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in compassion and trust. My goal is to create a supportive and inclusive space where you can feel safe enough and comfortable to explore your personal experiences and work toward healing and self-discovery.

My work focuses on helping youth and adults experiencing challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, perfectionism, burnout, life transitions, and newcomer experience.

I believe lasting change comes from developing insights combined with practical skills. My practice integrates insight-based therapies to help you cultivate self-awareness and recognize
unhelpful patterns that keep you stuck, with skill-building techniques that empower you to take actionable steps.

In our sessions, we will work together to identify your goals and develop skills
and insights to support and empower you to make meaningful changes in your life.

My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and tailored to meet your unique needs. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and Narrative Therapy

My journey into psychotherapy began in the Philippines, where I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology, which provided a solid foundation for my practice. Since moving to Canada, I have been fortunate to work with people from diverse cultural, racial, sexual, and economic backgrounds. Through this work and continued self-inquiry, I have deepened my understanding of how these intersectionalities impact a person's experiences and well-being. I believe my lived experience and background enrich what I offer in therapy.

I provide therapy in English and Tagalog.
