I welcome you to ask me about pronouns. I am gender-creative, queer, neurodivergent, and mixed race Filipina-Armenian-Sicilian. In my clinical supervisory capacity at Therapy Center of Philadelphia, I supervise student and pre-licensed psychotherapists. This means that I guide newcomer clinicians to radicalize, explore, and settle into their own stable footing in their emerging practice with clients. I uphold values of conscientiousness, creativity, interconnectedness, and transparency in rapport with my supervisees, and true to the concept of parallel process, these forms of care transfer vis a vis supervisees’ relationships with their clients. Additionally, I serve on a horizontally-oriented governing body within TCP that seeks to imagine and actualize intentional organizational culture.

I passionately strive to offer solid supervision to newcomer clinicians who are mixed race, hapa, Asian, API, Asian-American, queer, and neurodivergent, and who enjoy co-creating healing work within our own communities. Our communities deserve emotional-cultural security and wellness. And our communities’ careworkers and healers deserve the same. My eldest anti-violence politics are informed by locality within my family of immigrants and survivors of war, genocide, and intergenerational trauma.

I earned a masters of social services/ social work (MSS) and a PA license in clinical social work (LCSW). From my roots in women’s studies, gender studies, queer theory, as well as in children’s education, adolescent education, and higher education, I synthesize principles of these fields into my roles today as a psychotherapist and supervisor.

I grew up playing in bodies of water on two continents. I am the birth parent to a beloved tiny human-creature, which has immeasurably expanded me, family to my family including two regal elder-cats. I find serenity in Julie Flett’s children’s book illustrations and strength in Ruby Ibarra’s music. I ask the salt of the sea to hold me and the salt of tears to wash over my face.
