With 15 years experience as a holistic healer, Reiki Master, and Western trained Psychotherapist certified in IFS and EMDR, I deeply believe that part of my life’s work is to be of service to the world. I have worked both in public and private institutions, such as Weill Cornell NY Presbyterian, Bellevue Hospital and NYU and received degrees from Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).

Trained in mindfulness, IFS, EMDR, DBT and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, I prioritize thoughtful collaboration with my clients; while providing gentle, support that respects their pace, their goals and their nervous system expression.

Being of Hispanic and Filipino Indigenous descent and living in the US, I personally understand the importance of having all aspects of one’s self welcomed into a space. I have cultivated a trauma-informed, liberation-focused, anti-racist, feminist, LGBTQIA+ celebrating practice framework that integrates, honors and creates space for all aspects, including my clients’ experiences, beliefs, spirituality, cultural and wisdom traditions, Western psychology, and various pathways to healing, such as psychedelic science, community engagement, and culture specific approaches - all of which can support healing and reconnection with their true selves. 

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time at the beach surfing, engaging in spiritual practice, connecting with loved ones and Ancestors, reading, being creative in different ways, luxuriating in rest with my Persian cat Pouli, and splitting my time between NYC and Hawai’i.
