About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Surigao City, Caraga, Philippines. I work with you and your family on relationship issues, adoption concerns, and mood disorders. I use therapy and mindfulness to build practical skills for clearer communication in a confidential respectful space.

Approach

Based in Surigao City and shaped by a decade at a local rehabilitation center, my sessions blend focused assessment with steady skill-building tailored to your life. We meet in person in a calm, confidential room where English is used; sessions move at a practical pace, mixing reflective conversation, short mindfulness practices and clear communication exercises that you can try between meetings. I collaborate with families when helpful and adjust pace for all ages. People navigating relationship strain, adoption questions, or mood challenges often find this way of working grounding.
