About Me

As a mental health advocate and empathetic, purpose-driven counselor, I truly desire to help as many people as I can by using supportive listening, because sometimes, being heard can change everything. I want to make a difference, even in small ways, and help the world, your world specifically, a little more bearable for you. Personally, counseling is more than a profession—it's a calling. It's how I connect, heal, and bring meaning to my life and the lives of others, like you. My mission is rooted not only in empathy and purpose, but also in deep respect and a genuine commitment to understanding each person's unique story and context.

I hold a Master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling and am a registered counselor practicing in the Philippines. My diverse experiences in both face-to-face and online settings have helped me grow and continually improve in this field. I have worked with clients ranging from adolescents to adults. To continually enhance the support I provide, I actively engage in ongoing professional development by attending seminars and training.

I truly believe that even in our most difficult moments, we can find meaning through our experiences and the relationships we build along the way. You're not alone—connection, understanding, and shared humanity can be powerful sources of healing and hope. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely listen and support you, I’m here to walk with you on your journey. I know it may not be easy, but every small step you take matters. This journey isn’t about me—it’s about you, your healing, and the strength you already carry within.
