About Me
Safe, easy, and comfortable to work with, I am a mental health counselor / psychotherapist highly focused on you. Just be you. We are the same. We share the same goal - always thinking about ways to help make things better for you.
Equipped with: license RGC (Registered Guidance Counselor), Master of Arts in Psychology, Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling, and Graduate Diploma in Counseling Psychology - I am ready to help in the mental health and wellness field. Add on having finished Master of Business Administration (MBA) and being an active Project Management Professional (PMP), essential practical and specialized skills from these disciplines may be applied to betterment of daily life, such as being organized, disciplined, action-oriented, and having well-planned thought processes - from cases of issues in the workplace, to cases involving planning your own life to your ideals, dreams, and aspirations. I am an active volunteer in an organization in the Philippines, being a regular responder in their crisis/suicide hotline, which helps me muster, understand, and reflect on various human experiences from cases of anxiety and depression, to cases of trauma and self-harm.
I am a strong advocate of shared humanity, wherein each individual is understood and respected regardless of any characteristic, affiliation, status, condition, belief, and culture. You are you, uniquely you. We all experience the human condition, and it is through acceptance of this that we can forge ahead (as opposed to denial or repression). Humanistic and existential - to understand ourselves and others better, find meaning and purpose in life, broaden perspectives, and foster personal and societal growth. We, together, shall always seek value (pragmatism) and improvement (solution-focused) from all of our dealings; working as ‘equals’ (egalitarian) and at the same time enabling you as an effective and functioning captain of your own valuable and sensible life.
With anything that you may be going through right now - let’s work together; let's make things better for you; I am here, let’s talk.
