Personality tests and assessments are one way of knowing that can be used in counseling. These tools can create space for curiosity around oneself and deeper understanding.

In my own self-reflective practices I currently understand myself as -

• ENFJ (Meyer’s-Briggs)

• Type 2: The Helper (Enneagram)

• Taurus (Astrological Sign)

• Manifesting Generator (Human Design)

Who we are matters.  As a politicized, humanistic therapist, I believe our identities have an impact on our work together and can create space for connection. I take great pride in who I am and where I come from.

• 3rd Generation Filipino-American

• Greek & Italian Adopted Lineage

• California born & raised

• Queer

• Neurodivergent

Our wisdom is important and guides our reality. What we have lived through is an important part of each of our stories and helps others to understand us more fully.

• I am a single Mother of four teenage children and survivor of domestic abuse.

• I am the oldest of ten siblings and come from a large blended family.  

• My Father was a priest and Naval office growing up and my Mom is a nurse.  I grew up all over the country.
