Supervisor: Kristen Carty, LCSW, CAADC

I am passionate about providing a safe and supportive space where every patient feels truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow in their own unique self-journey. As a Filipina-American, I understand how cultural values and stigma can make it difficult to talk about mental health. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating a safe, affirming environment where my patients can show up fully. I center each session around the patient’s pace, voice, and goals.

My experience supporting children and families navigating trauma, instability, and systemic challenges has strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to individuals of all ages. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing techniques.
