Hello and welcome,
I am deeply passionate about creating a safe, empathetic space for people when they are at their most vulnerable. I acknowledge and celebrate the immense courage it takes to seek help through counselling, and I approach my clients with warmth and genuine care. I believe that increased self-awareness is a powerful first step toward healing, and I am honoured to walk alongside my clients as they take control of their futures.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and a Diploma in Music. While I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I primarily work with individuals, excelling in supporting men who are new to therapy. My EMDR training allows me to support those processing trauma, while my passion for IFS enables meaningful exploration of the mind’s complexity through parts work.
Outside the therapy room, I am a husband, stepfather, and professional musician. My career in music has included extensive international touring and album recordings, offering me unique insights into the challenges of high-pressure environments. These experiences, combined with my family life, help me bring depth, empathy, and practical life experience to my work as a therapist. Let’s collaborate to help you find healing and clarity on your journey.

Hello and Welcome,
My approach to counselling is guided by the understanding that we as people are a walking mosaic of our lived experiences as well as the experiences we did not receive. I dream of a world where “good” mental health no longer seems like a luxury item. Working with me is a creative and collaborative process that may step outside of conventional talk therapy to take us where words may fail. I work to learn your strengths as well as the current themes and patterns in your life to build a foundation for our work together.
I teach you skills, lessons, and the “why” behind aspects of life so that you may grow confident in your own ability to walk through life. If you are looking for a counsellor who will ask you the hard questions, be honest with you, teach you new skills and perspectives, as well as advocate for you – welcome home.
As a counsellor I specialize in navigating complex, multi-layered areas of life such as inter-generational and interpersonal trauma, cultural stress, as well as identity exploration. Additionally, those who struggle with depression (including post-partum depression) and grief hold a soft spot in my heart. I am skilled at working with PTSD and trauma. At this time, I currently only work with individuals 13+. I can speak English and Tagalog.
My work is grounded in a Person-Centred approach that draws upon various modalities such as Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Thearpy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS). Somatic Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy to create change that is affirming of your own intersectionality.

I believe we all have a tremendous capacity for change and growth. Being bilingual (Spanish/English) and having lived in many countries, I have an open, inclusive, and cross-cultural worldview. I am passionate about creating a safe space for you to tell your stories and collaboratively explore what feels scary or leaves you feeling “stuck”. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that integrating your strengths and goals with proven clinical approaches will lead to understanding, validation, and healing.

I strive to foster a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere where we can build trust and connection while exploring your emotions and challenges.

To complement your expertise, I draw from various therapeutic orientations to create an individualized plan catered to your needs, strengths and goals.
