About

Is your child or teen struggling right now? Is your family going through a difficult time? I would love to support you! I specialize in working with all types of families including those from diverse cultures as I am an immigrant from the Philippines myself. I especially love working with kids 7 to young adult. I have a special passion for working with middle school students and helping them go through those unique pre-teen stages! Prior to becoming a counselor, I taught English as a second language (ESL) at the elementary school level while working with immigrants. I also speak Tagalog and Ilonggo! View 5 Photos I value connecting with children and teens and understand that every child is unique! I will incorporate your individual child’s interests into sessions. I am a creative person and include expressive interventions such as art, play, creative writing, or music in a session when appropriate. I love when children look forward to coming back to therapy!
