Hi, I'm Dr. Kevin!
I’m a San Diego-based Filipino American licensed psychologist (California and Hawai'i) and credentialed with the National Register of Health Service Psychologists. As the son of Filipino immigrants, it's important to me that we (you and I) ensure your identities are acknowledged and centered in therapy and psychological assessment. I believe that our personal backgrounds influence how we navigate the world and show up in the the therapy room. I use this lens as I provide therapy and administer psychological assessment. Outside of work, I enjoy being by the ocean, grabbing boba, spending time with friends and family, and catching up on the latest movie/TV show. |
