Reflections Counseling Group was founded on the principle that everyone is capable of living a full and healthy life. It is not until we take the time to evaluate and reflect on life's experiences that we begin to live out the life we have and move towards the life we want. Taking an honest assessment of what is before us is where the work begins.

It takes courage to ask for help in difficult times, but we all need support at different moments in our lives. I have been working with children, adolescents and families for more than a decade. I have worked as a psychologist in different clinical settings including University counseling centers, community mental health services, Pediatric clinics, as well as private practice. I am bilingual in Spanish.

Looking to improve your sport/mental performance? Better understand your gender, sexuality, or relationship identity? Process a history of trauma? Our stories are our greatest power, and yet, can be difficult to share. I am a Clinical Sport Psychologist who encourages clients to tell their stories (yes, even the ugly stuff!) as accurately and meaningfully as possible to pave a path for moving forward. I equally recognize that not all mental health concerns are individually determined, and encourage clients to explore the impact of their social, intergenerational, and environmental histories and resources to promote healing/growth.

“I am who I am connected to. I am because we are.” This is called Kapwa, and within the Filipino culture, it means inclusiveness is the moral obligation to treat one another equally. This is how I approach therapy with all my clients. I am accepting new clients 18+, specializing in complex trauma, suicide loss, grief, attachment trauma, and BIPOC/AANHPI cultural issues. I believe the path we walk often has been carved for us through culture and generations of trauma that have been passed down to us. Methods I use are Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Relational-Cultural Therapy.

Whether you are new to therapy and/or recovery, or are struggling with new obstacles or relapse, welcome. Sometimes part of us wants to make a change and part of us holds us back. Sometimes we can connect the dots to our past and sometimes it feels less clear why we feel and react the way we do. When we are feeling stuck, we can feel feel anxious, overwhelmed, disoriented or uncertain. Know it is possible to move through the discomfort and regain our sense of empowerment. Our process may feel at times like a struggle but we don't have to go through it alone.

Life can become messy, and the weight of the world can feel overwhelming. Taking the first step in seeking therapy is a brave and remarkable decision.

My approach is rooted in helping clients regain confidence, connection, and self-compassion by creating a safe and supportive environment. I believe that people are ever-evolving and have the capacity to change and find healing in their stories. I am committed to guiding you through this transformative process.

I help my clients examine patterns of thought and emotion which perpetuate unwanted behaviors and life circumstances. As we uncover the blocks that operate below conscious awareness, we open up new possibilities for living a better life. My clients walk away from sessions feeling heard, validated, understood, and empowered to take responsibility for effecting meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

I come to my therapeutic work through my experiences as a pastor, chaplain, educator, and facilitator. I use a holistic model and systemic lens to work with clients, meeting them right where they are. I am currently in supervision as I pursue licensure as both a Marriage & Family Therapist and Clinical Pastoral Therapist.

I work with smart, kind, capable people, who, despite their successes, are overwhelmed with anxiety and self-critical thoughts. You want relief from the overwhelm, burnout, and people pleasing. Together, we will explore what's keeping you stuck and learn skills to relieve anxious and overly critical patterns, so you can get back in touch with who you are without all the noise. Even amongst the chaos, it's possible to ease your mind and access inner peace. It's not your fault you feel this way and, with a little help, you can find relief and move forward. You deserve relief and a chance to live your most whole-hearted life.

My preferred clients are children, individuals, and couples. With children, I focus primarily on adjustment and trauma-related issues. I utilize many different methodologies to target specific areas of interest and then rebuild their self-image. In individual therapy, I consider it an honor to walk with you as you explore your inner-most drives and motivations. I see us as a team, and I am not successful until you are. Lastly, as your couples therapist, I am dedicated to securing your relationship. I plan to stick together with you two as you put an end to harmful communication patterns and return to a place of love.

You and I both know that life can feel unbelievably messy, unpredictable and chaotic. It's easy to get lost in the frenetic juggling of home life, work life and relationships. You can lose your sense of purpose, direction and even who you are. Experiencing some measure of difficulty, distress and pain IS life, but what happens when your usual ways of coping no longer work? It can be all too easy to surrender to the unrelenting waves of frustration, despair and disillusionment when faced with difficult experiences.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Therapy is only as effective as the relationship between the therapist and client and because of this I believe the best way to determine if a therapist is right for you is to book a session and simply meet in person and to trust your instincts. My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice for a total of 38 years. I know that seeking help from a therapist requires great courage, so I try to create a warm and welcoming environment to make visits to my office more comfortable. My wealth of previous experience allows me to be able to connect with all age groups. I use humor in my practice when appropriate and utilize play therapy to engage and create rapport with younger children and adolescents. My practice approach is that my clients “drive the bus” and my job is to help with navigation. I am also an LGBTQIA advocate and ally.
