About Me

With a broad background in clinical psychology, education, and human resources, I understand life's varied complexities. I guide individuals, children and adults alike, through their unique challenges. Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I help you explore thoughts and develop practical ways forward. My diverse training means I can adapt our work to your specific needs. This creates a space for clarity and resilience.

Approach

That sense of clarity becomes a practical guide as I structure sessions around short, focused goals, gentle teaching, and real-time problem-solving so progress feels measurable. In Las Piñas I offer in-person and secure online sessions in Tagalog, pacing work to fit children, teens, caregivers and adults according to rhythm and need. Sessions blend brief assessments, collaborative skill-building, and targeted reflection — with practical between-session tasks and caregiver feedback when helpful. People who appreciate clear steps and steady, skill-based progress tend to find this approach helpful.
