Hi!

Thank you for being here.

I help individuals and couples overcome their mental health concerns, trauma, relationship, and life transitions. I have 10 years of experience as a mental health nurse helping individuals with severe mental illness in the community and hospital settings.

My passion for mental health wellness is influenced by my commitment to providing therapy grounded in anti-oppressive and social determinants of health framework. As a first-generation Filipino immigrant to Canada and woman in an intercultural relationship, I deeply value cultural integration in my practice.

I believe in each person’s innate ability for healing and growth and I strive to foster that in the therapy space. My priority is to create a safe, open, warm, and non-judgemental space for my clients to explore their experiences and perspectives.

My approach is using primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman method, and Trauma-Informed orientations. I also want you to know that I value being flexible to meet you where you are and co-explore an effective approach(es) you feel comfortable with. I hold both licenses as a Registered Nurse and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and can provide virtual therapy to individuals and couples not only residing in Ontario, but also in British Colombia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

I look forward to our work together! Talk to you soon!
