My Specialties

Life gets heavy. You're not broken—you’re responding to what you’ve lived through. I offer therapy rooted in compassion, curiosity, and real tools to help you reconnect with your values, navigate change, and reclaim your story. Here’s what we can work on together:

Anxiety & Overwhelm

For minds that won’t turn off and hearts that hold too much.
We’ll work on calming the storm—through grounding practices, values work, and untangling perfectionism or self-doubt. You don’t need to earn rest. It’s already yours.

Relationship Patterns & Boundaries

Love shouldn’t require shrinking or self-erasure.
We’ll explore your relational history—family, partners, friends—and how to set boundaries with care. If you’re navigating narcissistic dynamics or identity shifts, you’re not alone.

Grief & Loss

Whether recent or long ago, loss reshapes us.
I hold space for mourning—of people, identities, plans, or phases of life. We’ll honor what was and gently build toward what’s next, without rushing or erasing your pain.

Perinatal & Reproductive Transitions

From trying to conceive, to parenting, to loss—your experience matters.
I offer inclusive, affirming support for the messy middle of reproductive journeys. We center your values, grief, joy, and identity—not just outcomes.

Burnout & Life Transitions

When the roles you play start to feel heavier than who you are.
Together, we’ll explore the systems that shaped you and the parts of yourself asking to be heard. We’ll slow down, reset, and make room for what’s actually yours to carry.

Identity, Culture & Belonging

You deserve therapy that sees all of you.
As a first-generation Filipina American and BIPOC clinician, I honor the complexity of culture, race, gender, and family roles. We’ll hold space for the layers of who you are—chosen and inherited.

I offer individual therapy for adults (18+) in Maryland and California through secure telehealth.

Clients often come to therapy with me navigating:

  • Emotional burnout, anxiety, and high-functioning perfectionism

  • Parenthood transitions, identity shifts, and postpartum distress

  • Past trauma or recent ruptures that are hard to shake

  • Health-related stress, chronic conditions, and nervous system dysregulation

Whether you’re overwhelmed by intrusive worries, grieving the loss of the parenthood you imagined, or silently wondering if you’re “doing it wrong,” therapy can help you find space, steadiness, and support. You're not alone, and you’re not broken—you’re in a profound process of becoming.
