Do you ever feel caught between worlds? Do you struggle to connect with a sense of play? Do you ever wonder about your story? Are you going through big life transitions and feel that you are wanting to make sense of who you want to become, or to connect with resilience in the midst of change?

As a queer, bilingual, transnationally raised Latin American immigrant clinician, I am deeply passionate about working with anyone who struggles with feeling stuck “in between” - places, communities, identities - anyone who has felt “outside,” and anyone who is trying to make sense of relocation, displacement, or transition. 

I’m a relational, neurodiversity affirming clinician that enjoys bringing a narrative, attachment-focused approach to anyone who wants to get curious about rewriting their story, claiming their desire, and embracing their truth. I especially love working with people from all walks of life who want to explore their gender identity, gender role and sexual orientation, with immigrants and children of immigrants, with people who identify as mixed-race and people from blended families, with artists and community organizers, and with transplants to California. Above all, I believe in staying curious and present as a witness to your journey.

Do you ever feel like you're searching for a sense of home within yourself and the world? As an Arab immigrant, I understand the challenges of navigating multiple worlds and not feeling fully at home in any. My goal is to help you reconnect to a sense of belonging that feels true to you. In therapy, I honor your autonomy and uniqueness, offering a warm, nurturing, and direct approach. Together, we'll explore your inner world with kindness, building a relationship with your breath and body to access the wisdom within, moving at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

I specialize in working with clients from marginalized identities, including Arab, Muslim, queer/trans, non-monogamous, immigrant, and BIPOC individuals.

I live my life in accordance to seasons and cycles. I am a pro at change, finding grounding in new environments, connection when it is possible, home in many ways. I am comfortable in the in-between space, the messy, the both/and. Together, we can strengthen these skills of knowing who you are, so that you show up in a way you can stand on everywhere you go. I am a pleasure activist. I convene with Spirit daily and ground in artistic expression. I like to include somatic practices, plant(cestors), altar building, ritual into session if moving in that way feels aligned to you.

I recognize the deeply spiritual work of healing, the Indigenous roots of many of these practices, and how our individual healing journeys are always connected to our ability to integrate what we learn. I bring transformative justice, play, psychedelics, connectivity to integration mapping, so you stay in therapy only as long as you need to. Connecting with joy and purpose are often stops along the way to healing in my therapy room.

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” - bell hooks

Do you sometimes wish parts of you didn't exist? Do you have a tough inner critic? Is there a part of you that you struggle to understand or are ashamed of? I welcome all of the sensitive, weird, and messy parts that you hold and will walk with you through the wilds of your life. I believe that everyone is capable of changing the stories they tell, and that doing so can bring relief and help people find connection with themselves and others. As a therapist, I prioritize a collaborative and relational approach to my work, emphasizing your unique strengths, interests, and relationships as we explore your stories together.

Mental health may not be prioritized in your culture or family; as a 1.5 generation Filipina-American immigrant, I understand the complexities of finding your own path to healing. I’m an Integrative Gestalt therapist who serves individuals and couples with relationship conflicts, childhood trauma and systemic wounding. You may have never had the chance to figure out what you want and need — this might show up as anxiety, depression, difficulty forming or keeping relationships or feelings of unworthiness. You’re struggling with feeling stuck and are ready for something different.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you are taking another step on your therapy journey, I want to acknowledge and celebrate the time that you are taking to support yourself. Therapy can be a place to give breathing room to the pain and challenges that you may be holding. Together we can explore and address what needs healing so you may experience the ease and health that you deserve.

Maybe you feel like you’re holding it all together, but the pieces don’t quite fit? Perhaps the weight of being a caretaker, the hard worker, or the one who always pleases others has left you feeling disconnected, as though your life exists in someone else’s narrative. As an emerging Black therapist, cis woman and immigrant, I approach healing with the belief that even the smallest shifts can create profound change. Together we’ll explore the layers of your experience, and how they’ve shaped all the ways you move through your worlds.

People who straddle multiple cultures are master adapters and problem solvers – you have superpowers! – but all that shapeshifting gets exhausting. You are probably sharply attuned to what others think you should do, but struggle to know what you actually want. Anxiety that you’re either not enough or too much gets in the way. You might long for deeper relationships, friends who know and love the real you. For “in between” peoples, it’s common to feel that you never fully belong anywhere. 

I specialize in working with those living at the edges and intersections – BIPOC, immigrants, children of immigrants, individuals, couples and relationships of mixed ethnic or cultural backgrounds; survivors of trauma and individuals navigating religious trauma. I work with people going through transitions – shifting careers, moving through menopause, redefining identity. My practice is LGBTQIA affirming, rooted in reverence for your story, your body, and your becoming.

I'm an integral therapist working at the crossroads of body, mind, emotions and spirit – with deep respect for the cultural, social and ancestral landscapes that shape who we are. Together we will  explore what it means to reclaim parts of yourself that may have been left behind. Our work centers on finding and empowering your authentic voice , cultivating aliveness and self-trust, and creating more meaningful, connected relationships – within and around you.

Daring to know your needs, wants, and desires is a brave and beautiful thing. Daring to hold yourself fully, your body, mind, heart, and spirit creates an opportunity to live your life from a place of authenticity and empowered choice.

In my work, I welcome the totality of who you are. The prospect of getting to know and then lovingly and kindly holding who you are can sometimes seem like a long road. We will work together to create a healthy and thriving relationship with yourself.

I am in an ongoing personal practice of returning to a peaceful, loving home within my body, mind, heart, and soul and connecting with others from this place. I’d be honored to support you in cultivating a welcoming, loving home within.

In our fast-paced world, the quest for self-discovery is often fraught with challenges. Striving to meet others' expectations can leave you lacking in self-confidence and satisfaction, and coping mechanisms may only provide temporary relief, leading to feelings of exhaustion and imposter syndrome. This is particularly evident when you prioritize the needs of others over your own, impacting your ability to form deep, meaningful connections. As a therapist, I specialize in guiding individuals, especially young adults, through these complexities. My practice focuses on navigating identity, relationships, career decisions, and resilience building. This journey is about fostering self-awareness and leading you towards a more authentic, fulfilling life.

In therapy, confronting inner conflicts and relationship dynamics can be both demanding and rewarding. My approach, integrating attachment theories, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and existential perspectives, offers a safe and nurturing space for exploration and growth. You'll find our sessions to be a sanctuary for expressing and understanding your thoughts and feelings, supported by my empathetic listening and insightful guidance. Together, we work towards not just immediate relief but lasting personal development. If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey to discover your true self and navigate life's transitions, I'm here to support you. Reach out when you're prepared to take this crucial step towards a more genuine and enriched life.

I am passionate about helping people find their own guidance, values, and truths. As an attuned and heart-centered therapist, I provide a relational, safe space for exploration. Common themes I work with are constructive anger, using boundaries for deeper connection, finding meaning, healing from trauma, and recovery from high-control religious environments.
