About

Many Filipino families in Surrey carry separation quietly — there is the marriage ending, and then there is explaining it to the titas back home. I'm a registered social worker offering counselling in Tagalog, Ilocano, or English, with a focus on depression, newcomer stress, and the family-of-origin knots that make leaving so complicated. Expect warmth, honesty, and homework you will actually use. Sessions run $160–$220 with evening availability most weeks.
