THE DEPTH COLLECTIVE

Are you seeking more clarity, connection, or steadiness in your life? Many people come to therapy wanting to feel more aligned with themselves after navigating family, cultural, and societal expectations that may not fully reflect who they are. In our work together, we slow down and build a values-rooted way of living that feels meaningful, embodied, and genuinely supportive. My work is grounded in a decolonial, systems-informed approach that honors your experiences and the wisdom you’ve developed along the way. Rather than focusing on what’s “wrong,” we explore what you’ve learned, how you’ve adapted, and how those strengths can be reshaped to better support your current life. Clients often share that this work helps them feel more connected to themselves and others, strengthen self-trust, and experience greater agency and confidence in shaping their lives. I believe healing happens through relationship, both within ourselves and with others. As a South Asian, Filipinx, first-generation queer non-binary person, I intimately understand the tension of holding multiple, sometimes conflicting identities and expectations. I strive to offer a nurturing, nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome, including those shaped by intergenerational survival, migration, silence, resilience, and resistance. Before becoming a therapist, I worked alongside LGBTQIA+, immigrant, undocumented, and BIPOC young adults in advocacy and community-based settings. Those experiences deeply shaped my clinical work and my commitment to cultural humility, relational accountability, and the use of humor and play as tools for disruption and repair. I have witnessed how systems of oppression live not only in policies and institutions, but in our bodies, relationships, self-talk, and sense of possibility. My approach is intersectional, sex-positive, anti-racist, and deeply collaborative. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, identity exploration, relationship and attachment wounds, and intergenerational trauma. While I draw from psychodynamic theory, parts work/IFS, DBT, somatic practices, and self-acceptance, I remain flexible and responsive while centering you as the expert on your own lived experience. Therapy with me often includes curiosity, challenge, compassion, and moments of humor to gently loosen patterns rooted in shame, perfectionism, or internalized oppression. Whether you are feeling unmoored, questioning who you are beyond survival, or seeking steadier ground in your relationships and inner world, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your healing.
