**Intro session with new clients conducted over Zoom. Please book session to start on the hour - Thank you**

Hello & Welcome! My work is insight-oriented and focused on meaningful internal change, not just symptom management. I am a compassionate and experienced clinical psychologist and educator licensed in California with additional certifications in NLP & Ericksonian therapeutic hypnosis. Queer, gender fluid and femme folks at the intersection of gender, sexual & relational diversity (GSRD) + cultural diversity + neurodiversity are my primary focus. Alt high achievers in tech, medicine, mental health, academia and the creative arts are some of the folks I work with. A main diagnostic specialization is anxiety, our modern-day malady. I am a founding member of Bay Area Open Minds, therapists affirming GSRD as well as the author of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Journal. Eurasian Filipino-American, I am inclusive and embracing in my approach. Note: I will be a speaker at the International Conference on Spirituality and Psychology in Bangkok March 13-15. Vacation March 9-13. Return to San Francisco office & Mon-Fri hours week of March 16.

I see a person’s choice to engage in the process of therapy as the beginning of a new journey. The journey may be motivated by an exercise in self- discovery, acquiring new skills, or working though past life events. Should you decide to peruse therapy I want to walk beside you on this journey. I have 10 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy working with families and individuals in the age demographics from youth to seniors.

Anxiety and perfectionism have turned your mind into a battleground. Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted by thoughts of “Damnit, why can’t I just be better!” Painful memories get louder, no matter how hard you try to ignore them. Daily invalidations of your Latina, queer, or immigrant identity sting, and you feel isolated as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: doom scrolling, drinking, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling hopeless and weighed down.
