About Me

Healing begins with feeling heard.

At The Pearly Therapy, I offer a space where healing is rooted in both depth and heritage. As a second-generation Filipino American, I understand the nuances of navigating multiple worlds - balancing cultural expectations, intergenerational narratives, and the quiet complexities of identity.

Just as a pearl is formed through layers of response to discomfort, I believe our personal growth emerges through courageous reflection and relational healing. My practice is informed by psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and culturally attuned frameworks - supporting individuals, couples, and families in uncovering the inner stories shaped by both past and present.

Whether you're processing intergenerational trauma, exploring identity as a child of immigrants, or seeking to understand long-held emotional patterns, The Pearly Therapy invites you to return home to yourself - with compassion, curiosity, and cultural resonance.
