Healing Is Possible
Committed to your recovery and emotional well-being, especially after trauma and in the presence of oppressive experiences.
Services Provided
The primary aim of my clinical work is to provide culturally responsive trauma therapy to people of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, races, and ethnicities.
I provide individual therapy to teens, adults, and older adults, and have extensive expertise working with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and sex. As a transgender nonbinary Filipinx psychologist, I am dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space for clients from marginalized communities, especially individuals from LGBTQ and people of color communities. I tailor each treatment to be culturally responsive and relevant for each person's background and identity, utilizing evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including exposure therapy. Learn more about the therapy I provide. I see clients in person on Mondays in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego. All other appointments are virtual. I am committed to your healing and emotional well-being, and I look forward to working with you!
Training and Education
I present workshops, trainings, keynotes, and other engagements for organizations related to trauma psychology and multicultural psychology broadly. Topics include internalized oppression, trauma recovery, allyship and working across differences, cultural responsiveness in therapy and supervision.
Consultation
I offer individual and organizational consultation for the purposes of improving client care and professional development. Consultation topics include gender-affirming care, culturally responsive trauma treatment, culturally adaptive exposure therapy, supervision challenges, and therapist wellness in the context of the current socio-political environment.
