Are you having trouble meeting high expectations that you’ve set for yourself? Do you feel like you’re under the pressure to live for other people’s goals? Are you sometimes left feeling unseen and unheard? Are you used to surviving by keeping your head down and working hard? Living life like this can be draining and unfulfilling. I’ve got a keen interest in helping people like you rediscover your purpose. I want to help you loosen the tightly held beliefs that you’ve been handed down in hope that you’ll be more in touch with the most authentic version of yourself.

Using the Gestalt modality I work in an embodied and relational way with the belief that the therapeutic relationship that exists between me and the client is reflective of how the client exists in the world at large. I’m informed by my experiences as a Filipino-Canadian finding my way between cultures, being a parent, and working in the tech industry for decades.

I have a clear, honest approach that invites open dialog. I have a sense of creativity, humour, and expressiveness that encourages empowered vulnerability. My stability and strong sense of boundaries provides a safe place for self-exploration in turbulent waters. If this interests you please reach out and let’s see if I’m the right student therapist for you.
