My Story

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am the eldest child of Filipino and Salvadorian immigrants. My healing journey could have started sooner. I became more willing to learn about myself as a teenager. I was introduced to a support group, which became a safer space to explore my identities and relationships. I considered a career in teaching during college. I later shifted my focus after getting to know the valuable work of medical and mental health social workers via family members needing their support and advocacy. While working in an administrative role, I was inspired to pursue social change after witnessing the profound impact of social injustices on mental health and overall well-being.

I have participated in various forms of mental health treatment over time (individual, family, group, and couples). I understand and know the power of being seen and validated. It's scary and empowering. It has led to much growth within myself and in my relationship with my loved ones. I continue to navigate my healing journey through individual therapy.

I am based in San Diego County, where I provide online short-term and long-term psychotherapy to clients residing in California.
