Speaker | Storyteller

Hey there, glad to have you here! I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of Larô Therapy, an identity-affirming psychotherapy practice operating virtually across Ontario.

I specialize in working with diasporic Filipinos in Canada and Autistic individuals who are looking to develop a stronger sense of identity and community. I draw from my lived and professional experiences as a first-generation Filipino immigrant who has practiced psychotherapy in the Philippines and Canada. I bring these alongside relatability and play into my therapy practice and public forums as part of my ongoing commitment to practicing in culturally sensitive and identity-affirming ways.

Speaking - Laro Therapy

I use my expertise and experience to offer keynote speaking, expert panel participation, and workshop facilitation on topics such as:

  • Filipino mental health and intergenerational healing

  • Immigration and psychological impact

  • Autism and collaborative work with Autistic individuals

  • Neurodiversity-affirming care

  • Healing through play

  • Self and Community Care

  • Burnout Prevention/Recovery

  • Building and Sustaining a values-aligned private psychotherapy practice

I’d be delighted to craft tailored presentations for your audience and event needs. Let’s explore the possibilities and collaborate on an engaging presentation that leaves a lasting impact on your audience.
