I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Portland, OR. I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Montana State University. As a counselor, I bring diverse experience working in various counseling and health settings including college counseling, community health, and private practice organizations. I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel empowered to Additionally, I am a Filipino and queer counselor and enjoy working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients.

To help you develop effective coping skills, we may use tools from CBT and solution-focused therapy. I also use a person-centered stance to ensure you feel accepted and our relationship feels authentic. Finally, I incorporate cultural humility and relational-cultural therapy to ensure our work is sensitive to your experiences.
