Thought Leadership

I've had the opportunity to speak on the 2023 Asian Pacific Islander Desi American and Mental Health Matters Washington panels to present how I incorporate somatic practices and activism into my therapy work with Asian Pacific Islander clients. I've also had the opportunity to be a guest on the Life Activated, Reclaiming Soul Work, and Hot Girls Healing podcasts. The topics have included:

• The intersections of mental health and spirituality

• Using tarot in therapy work

• My connection to my Filipino culture and how my lived experience informs my therapy work with marginalized populations

• The importance of self care as a therapist

• Ways to decolonize and apply and anti oppression lens to the social work profession

​I am happy to offer consultations for organizations, participate in panels, podcasts or speaking engagements that align with my passions and values.

I have an expertise in the following topics:

• Decolonizing Filipino culture

• Filipino and Filipino American identity issues, family dynamics, communication dynamics

• Asian Pacific Islander topics, issues, subject matter and addressing issues of grief and activism in light of current events affecting that population since the pandemic

• Intersections of mental health and spirituality

• Subject matter related to decolonizing the social work and mental health profession

• Integrating somatic practices into therapy practice
