I’m Roanne—an immigrant mama of four and a Tagalog-speaking therapist with over 17 years of experience. Salamat po for stopping by.
I’m the founder of the Kalamansi Juice Blog and the Pinoy Love Language Podcast. After visiting hundreds of Filipino homes and serving many more in my therapy room, I learned that working with your own people requires a deeper level of attunement and skill.
Because Filipinos are deeply relational, boundaries often feel closer, power dynamics need careful attention, hidden loyalties need to be honored and gently explored—and sometimes the path to healing looks unconventional.
Over the years, I’ve discovered that what might feel like a challenge in therapy is often the very entry point for genuine connection and transformation.
My mission is to share these insights so Filipino families and couples can receive culturally attuned care—therapy that truly understands their heart and story.
"Whether you are Filipinx or not, Roanne has a keen ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and understand your story in order to help you uncover blind spots so you can heal from any unresolved pain, trauma, or open wounds you may still be carrying."
" I only wish Roanne could be duplicated 10x over! What a gift she is to the community and I will forever be grateful in crossing paths with her. Salamat Roanne!!"
I can listen to Roanne for days. She is a master storyteller.
