  • I provide virtual, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults across Wisconsin experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and suicidal ideation. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ adults, AAPI adults, and BIPOC adults, particularly those navigating issues related to identity, self-esteem, boundaries, people-pleasing, burnout, and stress. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help clients better understand their emotions, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and create meaningful, lasting change.
• Please share any additional details about your background or interest in working with the LGBTQ community.
  • As a gay cisgender Filipino American therapist, I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals through both personal and professional experience. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked with LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults through The Trevor Project, providing affirming support during times of emotional distress, identity exploration, and crisis. My own experiences navigating mental health and identity have shown me how isolating it can feel when you don't feel fully understood. These experiences inspired me to become a therapist and create a space where queer individuals can feel seen, supported, and less alone in their emotions and lived experiences. I am committed to helping LGBTQIA+ clients build self-acceptance, strengthen relationships, and foster a greater sense of connection and community..

  • Many of the clients I work with are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and it’s a population I’m deeply passionate about supporting. I know what it feels like to spend years trying to fit into spaces that weren’t built for you, and I believe therapy should be one place where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself, or have someone else’s idea of who you should be placed on top of who you are.
  • Whether you’re exploring your identity, navigating relationships, healing from trauma, or simply trying to understand yourself better, my role isn’t to tell you who you are it’s to help you uncover and trust the person you’ve always been.
