About Me

Let me first acknowledge and commend you for taking the initial step in looking for a therapist. It is not an easy journey - it can feel scary, overwhelming, or even frustrating. My name is Althea, I am a Filipino-American Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am fluent in both English and Tagalog. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Rehabilitation Services and a Master’s degree in Social Work. In addition, I have over 10 years of experience in mental health services in various areas, including outpatient, inpatient, and medical/hospital settings.

My priority is connecting with you and establishing a trusting, non-judgmental, safe space. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, humanistic, and integrative. I believe each of us has a story that is different and unique. I hope we can work collaboratively to unpack, explore, and identify your goals to get you closer to healing.

On my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have an appreciation for the fine arts and  take pleasure in DIY projects, cooking/baking, camping, and traveling.
