Hi there! I’m Angelique, a 1.5-gen Filipino-American therapist. I’m an introvert, a highly-sensitive person (HSP), an artist, and a serious homebody.

I spent a large chunk of my teens and early adulthood working with all sorts of people in retail, food service, food access, and the arts. I made my way into mental health after developing a deep curiosity about human emotions and behavior through my past roles. It was during this time that I came to understand my own neurodivergence, and how systems of power had created a distrust and disconnect from my own body and mind. I’ve witnessed this in too many others, and feel immense joy helping others reconnect with themselves again.

I’ve worked with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families in agency and private settings. I especially enjoy working with young adults, BIPOC, adult children of immigrants, and parents!

My Approach

My practice is rooted in compassionate and whole-person care, which means we will examine all areas that contribute to your well-being (physical, mental, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual aspects). Informed by an anti-oppressive framework, my approach acknowledges the ways systems of power create and perpetuate harm, too often leaving us disconnected from ourselves and our inner knowing. We’ll examine how all the systems we live within affect who we are and how we function.

I believe healing happens in relationship with other human beings. I, too, experience anxiety, uncertainty, and all the big emotions that can feel difficult to sit with. I will be your witness and support you in building skills to face hardship and pain with courage.

My therapeutic process is exploratory, less structured, and dependent on what you’re coming in with every week. One week we may focus on emotional regulation skills, another we may process a recent or past event. You do not need to come to therapy “prepared”. I’ll provide a listening ear, gentle accountability, and challenge you when appropriate.

I provide virtual therapy for adults 18+ in Washington state struggling with anxiety, identity, self-esteem, and relationship or family concerns. See more about my services here.
