I identify as a biracial woman. I share that with you because it is the force that propelled me to where I am today. I spent most of my childhood living in the Philippines. As a child, it was very hard for me to be the only Black person in my entire community. What I have been through really opened up my heart to people who may have similar experiences. As a black female therapist, I can empathize with those who have felt lonely and othered around a ton of people.

The challenges I’ve been through shaped the way I work as a black therapist in Los Angeles. I’m sure you know, it is not easy to climb that professional ladder as a woman of color. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase: Black women have to work twice as hard as their counterparts. Most especially with today’s climate, we as black women have to carry out and take care of our racial traumas and succeed at work all at the same time. We as black women, have to set our emotions and pain aside - not allowed to be angry, sensitive, or sad. We can’t have a bad day, and you have to make sure to bring your A-game all the time. No wonder we’re tired.

The BIPOC community’s narrative is very empowering. I want to stand those who have to juggle their racial traumas and work through the pressures to do well. I remember feeling lonely; unsure of where I had space to just exist unapologetically, to just be. I want to help people feel seen. I want to help people unlock their highest potential and be the best version of themselves. 

I’ve been there.

Having lived in a different country and moving to the U.S. at age 16,  I felt out of control. I felt alone. I did my best to fit in by performing well at school, then at my job. Working hard and aiming high became my personality. I started to place a lot of my value on my performance and perfecting my perfectionism. Though achievement and productivity are rewarding, they were not long-lasting. I just chased the next best thing. Through my own therapeutic journey,  I stepped away from my to-do list and instead stepped into accepting all parts of myself. I want the same for you because you deserve to feel better. You deserve relief.
