Hi, I’m Arianne, and I’m so glad you’re here. I truly believe that everyone deserves a space where they can unpack their story without judgment, regardless of background or financial barriers. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a first-generation immigrant, I combine clinical training with deep lived experience to partner with you in your healing. Together, we will build a space that is not just safe, but brave—a place where you can show up exactly as you are, be truly seen, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply empathetic. Whether you are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in old patterns, we will work together to find a path forward at your own pace.

To my 1.5 and second-generation Filipino folks: Growing up between two worlds can feel like constantly code-switching. If you are trying to break intergenerational cycles, untangle cultural expectations (like utang na loob or hiya), or learn to set healthy boundaries without the overwhelming guilt, I see you. In our sessions, you don’t have to translate your experience or find the perfect words—safe space ito kung saan puwede kang maging ikaw. Nandito ako para makinig nang walang panghuhusga. English, Tagalog, and Taglish are always welcome.

My clinical background includes supporting vulnerable individuals through some of life’s most high-stress settings, such as crisis lines and long-term care homes. This has deeply rooted my commitment to making mental health care accessible, inclusive, and deeply human.

Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me out on an adventure, spending quality time with friends and family, or hanging out with my very curious orange cat, Theo. I bring that same genuine curiosity and warmth into our sessions, eager to understand your unique story, your strengths, and what healing looks like for you.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I offer a free 15–20 minute phone consultation. Let’s connect and chat about what support can look like for you.

"But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.”
- Samwise Gamgee
