Great to meet you!

Hiya! Thank you so much for taking the time to patiently sift through many profiles to find me. Now that you're here, I will give you my best elevator speech. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and substance use - all the messy, complicated parts. Over 17 years, I’ve done everything from case management to clinical supervision at a community mental health agency and crisis intervention at a managed care company. As a biracial person (Filipina and Polish), I bring personal understanding to those navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and the feeling of not quite fitting in anywhere.

My approach to therapy

I'm not your silent-nodding therapist. I talk, I laugh, and I genuinely want to know your story. We'll use what's already working in your life as a foundation to address what isn't. Expect collaboration, some humor, and real talk about how to get you unstuck.

What you can expect from me

I create a warm, welcoming space where you can actually tell me your story—the real one, not the polished version. We'll talk about where you've been, where you want to go, and honestly? We'll probably laugh along the way. I use humor because therapy is hard work, and you need someone in your corner who gets that. My goal is simple: you leave better than you arrived.
