I am a clinical and sport psychologist (M.A. Sport Psychology, PsyD Clinical Psychology) and I specialize in Filipina/o/x mental health and athlete mental health and performance. I have a person-centered approach and utilize techniques that fit the needs of the individual. 

We are all different and cannot be put in a one-size-fits-all approach. I recognize each person’s individuality and aim to tailor sessions each person’s needs.

​I am specially trained in various areas, including sport performance approaches, CBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, positive psychology, and relational therapy amongst others. I have experience working with performance, mood, anxiety, ADHD, family issues, identity issues, relationship issues, and substance use issues. Populations I have worked with include athletes, BIPOC, teens and adults, people with dual-diagnosis, and general population.

What does "mental health" mean to you? Why is it important for us as Filipinxs/Filipinx Americans to normalize discussions around wellness and mental health in our community?

Mental health is health. We cannot be fully healthy if we don’t address what’s happening mentally. Filipina/o/x mental health needs to be discussed and normalized so we can work to bring healing to those in our community who continue to struggle both publicly or silently.
