Marriage and Family Therapist
3625 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, #106, Westlake Village, CA
I am straightforward in my approach and take pride in being authentic and candid in my practice. I often use humor and sarcasm with my clients, always with kindness and respect for their individual needs. I am bilingual in English and Filipino (Tagalog) and bicultural as a Filipina-American. I am adept at working with BIPOC populations and meeting the cultural needs of my clients. Empathetic, non-judgmental, and intuitive, I always consider the role of racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual identities and backgrounds in my clients’ lived experiences. I practice with a critical lens that takes into account current social issues and historical events affecting individual identity. I take a social justice stance in my work, recognizing the powerful social, cultural, and political forces at play in the lives of BIPOC and other marginalized communities. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University Northridge, which has further equipped me to provide culturally responsive and socially aware care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In therapy, I strive to create a deep therapeutic relationship with my clients. This means we will work together to go beyond symptom reduction or “fixing” the problem. From a place of curiosity and exploration, we will work together to uncover and understand patterns and experiences that are affecting you or keeping you in a perpetual “hamster wheel,” leaving you feeling helpless, confused, and stuck. Through this process, we will create a path toward healing, lasting growth, and change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

It is important for you to know that, in our time together.we will always consider the importance of intersectional, political, and sociocultural factors that can inform your lived experience. While I am clinically trained to provide psychological interventions, I also deeply understand that systemic forces such as power, privilege, and oppression affect us all. Whether these dynamics have harmed or benefited you, our work together will explore their potential impact on your life. It is my hope that, through this deeply personal process, your identity will be seen, affirmed, and validated.
