Registered Psychologist

"A steady hand through unsteady times." My primary focus is Child & Family Psychology, helping children, families, and individuals navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, as well as trauma-related experiences and major life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting the families of OFWs and migrants, those left behind who carry the weight of distance, shifting family roles, and long-distance parenting. I also work closely with individuals facing workplace-related issues, including work-related stress, burnout, performance concerns, and difficulties adjusting to organizational or interpersonal challenges at work. My approach integrates Trauma-Informed Care and a Client-Centered Approach, combined with evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology. Rather than leading with diagnostic labels, I prioritize building genuine rapport and helping clients understand themselves more deeply, cope more effectively, and move toward meaningful, lasting growth. I do not prescribe or manage medications as they are the work of medical Doctors and Psychiatrists. My work is centered on providing non-medical, evidence-based psychological support through counseling, assessment, and therapeutic intervention. I continue to grow through ongoing professional development in trauma-informed practice, psychological assessment, and clinical intervention.

I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Registered Psychologist (RPsy) dedicated to helping children, families, and individuals nurture their mental health and emotional wellbeing. My work centers on Child & Family Psychology, and I have a particular interest in supporting the families of OFWs and migrants — those left behind who carry the quiet weight of distance, shifting family roles, and the instinct to stay strong for everyone else even while running on empty. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice such as Trauma-Informed Care and a Client-Centered Approach, integrated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology, always with an understanding of Filipino culture and family dynamics. My practice is built on genuine empathy, compassion, and respect for shared human connection. I'm here to walk alongside you as you cope, heal, and flourish, whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, family or relationship concerns, breakups, workplace stress, low self-esteem, bullying, or discrimination. I offer a calm, safe, non-judgmental space, and can also provide psychological assessments for family and trauma-related concerns as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I message you on your social media accounts?

For your privacy and security, and in accordance with professional and ethical standards for psychologists, I do not accept or respond to therapy-related messages through personal social media accounts. Please book and communicate through SeriousMD/NowServing to ensure your information stays confidential and properly documented.

Which HMO's/Healthcards do you accept?

As an independent practitioner, I am not currently accredited or paneled with any HMO or healthcard provider. HMO mental health coverage in the Philippines varies by plan — many corporate plans cover accredited psychologists, while individual plans often don't. If your HMO includes mental health benefits, I recommend checking directly with your provider whether reimbursement is available for sessions with a PRC- Registered Psychologist (RPsy). I'm happy to provide official receipts and credentials (PRC license, PTR) to support any reimbursement claims.

Do I need to pay first to get an appointment?

Yes, payment is required before your appointment request is confirmed, in line with the Paywall system used on this platform. The consultation fee covers your session, including discussion of your concerns, psychological assessment where applicable, and appropriate therapeutic guidance. Any additional services, such as psychological reports or further assessments, may involve separate fees, which will be discussed with you beforehand.

Do you issue Medical Certificates?

As a Registered Psychologist (RPsy), I do not issue medical certificates, as this falls outside the scope of psychological practice under RA 10029 (Philippine Psychology Act) and is reserved for licensed physicians. However, I can issue mental health certificates, psychological reports, and assessments related to mental health status, psychological evaluation, or therapy attendance, as appropriate and within ethical guidelines.

Can I message you via the NowServing app?

Yes, once I've accepted your appointment, you're welcome to send me a message through the NowServing app. I'll do my best to respond as soon as possible.

How long does a typical session last?

A typical therapy or counseling session lasts around 50-60 minutes per client. It can take longer depending on the concern and needs of the individual, particularly for initial intake or assessment sessions.
