Why I Do This

I love helping people deepen their self-awareness, change their communication skills, and create healthier boundaries. I’m very honored by my clients' willingness to open up to me and take me on their journey of self-discovery and healing.

 
 

My Background

I am mixed American Asian. I was born in and had lived some of my formative years in the Philippines. I'm familiar with the nuances of blending cultures and how it shapes who you are and your values.

Being a psychotherapist is my second career. After receiving a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, from Sacramento State University in 1994, I longed to work in a deeper capacity and decided to go back to school to study counseling. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling in 2005 from Sonoma State University and became licensed as an MFT in 2013.
