My Approach to Helping
We are all the same! Part of the human experience is that we all face many challenges in our lifetime. By the same token, humans are wired to be resilient and can thrive in any circumstances. Living in an imperfect world with imperfect people, it makes perfect sense that we need guidance from time to time.
I believe that each of us possesses inner wisdom, hence, I can help you with life challenges by drawing from your strengths, internal resources, and a balance of evidence-based practice. My therapy approach is interactive and collaborative that includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness practice.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been working in the mental health field for over 8 years. I have extensive experience in providing individual and group therapy for a diverse population and offer psychotherapy in English and Tagalog languages. My work has involved counseling survivors of domestic violence, adolescents presented with transitional challenges, adults with relationship issues, seniors experiencing difficulties with aging, and foster youths in need of support with healthy coping and independent living. I work with adults through online counseling and my primary focuses are anxiety, depression, life transition, relationship issues, stress management, domestic violence, trauma, and self-esteem.
