As a first-born generation Filipina American, I have always walked between two cultures: American and Filipino. I always wonder what it means to be both American and Filipino. I would have thoughts like "I am not American enough to be American and I am not Filipino enough to be Filipino."

I understand the struggles of balancing two different identities and wondering if I am enough to be accepted. I recognized that society's views on who I should be impact how I perceive myself. I am working on my intentions to unlearn what society wants me to be and empower myself to be my authentic self.

As your therapist, I am here to guide you through your journey to a better you.
