Description
I strive to see individuals within their specific social, historical, cultural, economic, interpersonal and familial contexts, and help them fully experience themselves in an accepting space to feel, make sense of and re-weave, if needed, their own personal stories. I am an internationally-trained psychologist with 20+ years of experience in academic and NGO settings and specialized knowledge in mental health, counselling/psychotherapy and assessment. I was an active member of the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) including the LGBT-Special Interest Group. Reach out today!
