About me and my practice
As a counselor, I take a collaborative and supportive approach to help you explore and understand your feelings and thoughts. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable and heard. I focus on what makes you unique, offering empathy and compassion as we work together.
We may discuss things like your past, future goals, culture, and the world around us to help you better understand your emotions. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and make positive changes. Together, well uncover your strengths, empower you to express yourself, and help you find your sense of self in your relationships and community.
I work integratively, drawing on a variety of complementary modalities such as solution-focused, psychodynamic, and existential approaches. My practice is also influenced by critical psychology, postcolonialism, socialism, and spiritual principles. As a Filipino-Mexican-American, I bring a unique perspective, particularly when it comes to issues of immigration, identity, otherness, cultural dynamics, self-esteem, racism, and confidence.
Above all, my aim is to support, empower, and listen to you, tailoring our sessions to your unique needs and preferences. I am committed to helping you explore and find what you truly need, fostering a space of care and understanding.

Initial Consultation
In the first counselling session, my primary goal is to establish a strong foundation for our work together. I start by creating a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. I begin by introducing myself and explaining the counselling process, outlining the structure of our sessions, and discussing confidentiality to ensure you feel comfortable and secure in our relationship. I focus on getting to know you and understanding the reasons you sought counselling.
