I help individuals and couples explore their experiences of anxiety and how these are affecting different areas of their lives. Using primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Gottman Method, and Trauma-Informed orientations, I aim to bring a sense of empowerment into my clients’ lives by cultivating new ways of thinking and coping. 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 wellness is influenced by my commitment to providing therapy grounded in using the social determinants of health as my framework. As a first-generation Filipino immigrant to Canada and a woman in an intercultural relationship, I deeply value cultural integration in my practice. I also believe in each person’s innate ability for healing and growth and I strive to foster this 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. 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 look forward to our work together! Talk to you soon!
