mind-body psychologY

Many of my clients work with me to heal from trauma, anxiety, or imposter syndrome. Others are looking for support with managing their chronic pain and improving their quality of life. I’m committed to diverse, liberation oriented communities. I enjoy working with women/femmes of color and students/professionals from immigrant families. One of my passions is helping fellow Filipinx Americans and other AAPI folks navigate difficult family and cultural dynamics. 

My work stems from feminist, decolonization, and embodiment practices. As a mind-body therapist, I take a holistic and non-judgmental approach to help clients reach their goals of living a meaningful, well-balanced life. Together we will explore the here and now with self-compassion, and in turn, find practical ways for you to take steps towards creating the life you envision for yourself.

  • Therapy

    I'm a therapist that's compassionate, patient, and direct. Together we'll work on feeling centered & balanced, and cultivating a healthy mind-body relationship.

  • Groups & Workshops

    I offer groups and workshops on various topics including chronic pain, Fil-Am mental health, yoga, intuitive eating, imposter syndrome, etc.

  • Media & Publications

    I enjoy connecting with other professionals and collaborating on projects, presentations, or other media. Let’s chat!

People I often see in my practice are folks who have an appreciation for the mind-body connection and want a space to explore their whole selves. I often see women/femmes who are interested in cultivating a better relationship with their bodies. Whether it’s because of the challenges of anxiety, a history of trauma, and/or chronic pain or chronic health conditions. I also often work with folks who may struggle with body image and/or binge eating, and are motivated to create change in their health.

I am passionate about helping other Filipino Americans and other AAPI first/second generation children of immigrants navigate family and cultural challenges. My clients also often bring in work or school related stressors, such as imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and/or burnout. People I see in therapy are interested in exploring and deepening their understanding of their intersecting minority identities.
