I currently reside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., but was born and raised in the down-to-earth Midwest. I’m a second generation Filipino-American, am the daughter of a technologist & architect/baker and the granddaughter of brave, purpose-driven immigrants. some things that make me feel alive include exploring new cities and learning about different cultures, journaling in coffee shops, climbing mountains, spending quality time with friends & family, and diving into new hobbies.

I believe the work required to heal one’s mental & emotional wounds takes a ‘quiet strength’ — a deep sense of courage that often goes unnoticed. (not all wounds are visible, after all.) my mission as a therapist is to help acknowledge and encourage the quiet strength in each human I have the privilege of working with. through this work, my hope is to help folks live with greater embodiment, authenticity, compassion, and congruence. to be witnessed without shame. to relate to themselves and the world in new ways. and to break the stigma of mental health.

that’s all, for now, about me. I look forward to getting to know you better in our work together!
