On-line & In-Office in Fairfield, Vacaville, Solano County, California

Therapy for Filipina Women Healing from Toxic Relationships and Emotionally Absent Mothers

You don’t have to choose between honoring your family and healing yourself.

Let’s begin your healing together.


You Were Taught to Be the Strong One—But Inside, You Feel Small.


You’ve mastered smiling through pain, saying “ok lang ako” when it’s anything but.

You’ve cared for everyone — your partner, maybe some  kids, your parents — while wondering when it’ll be your turn to be cared for.

Maybe your mother was there, but not really there.
Or maybe you loved someone who made you question your worth.

Perhaps you’ve built a beautiful life, yet you still feel that quiet emptiness — like your body never fully exhales.

It's not your fault.

Children who grow up without connection often become adults who crave it the most.

It’s never too late to reconnect with yourself, stop chasing what disappoints you, and finally feel good enough.

How This Invisible Pain Can Show Up in Your Life

Daughters of Distant Mothers

Carrying a Burden So real but Invisible to others, You may feel:

  • Tension on your shoulders & back you can't seem to shake off.

  • Autoimmune disease=inflammation in the body.

  • The feeling of a bottomless pit that you can’t seem to fill.

  • Headaches, unexplained body aches.

  • Feeling guilty for being “not happy” enough.

  • Deep nagging sadness and longing even when you have a good support system.

  • Constant feeling of being tired even with enough rest.

  • Anxiety and the feeling that “something bad” is about to happen.”

  • Finding yourself in a cycle of dysfunctional relationships when all you want is to be loved.

Imagine.....

You wake up without heaviness in your chest.

You stop chasing love that hurts.

You trust your body. You speak your truth — without guilt.

You finally feel peace — not because everyone’s happy,
but because you are.

Healing doesn’t have to take forever.
 

You just need to begin — one gentle step at a time.


In our work together, you’ll learn to:

  • Set boundaries without guilt.

  • Quiet the voice that says “I’m selfish” or “I’m a bad daughter.”

  • Nurture the inner child who still longs to feel safe and seen.

  •  Trust your intuition not from fear but from a place of calm and abundance.

  • Attract relationships that will fuel you rather than deplete all of you.

How Our Work Together Looks Like

Client Testimonials

Meet Your Filipina Therapist

I’m Roanne. I'm so glad you stopped by!

Our work together will be an adventure of your lifetime. You will learn about yourself beyond the limiting beliefs you’ve unconsciously subscribed to without being in therapy forever. 

We will tackle issues with depth & lightheartedness. I am playfully direct because who said the healing journey has to be sooooo serious. But you’re transformation will seriously change your life to the one you’ve only imagined. You will become the reality of your dreams.

I’m an immigrant mom of 4 in an interracial relationship. I was born and raised in the Philippines but have lived in the U.S. for almost 25 years. I’ve navigated both cultures beautifully but have lived experience on the difficulty of bridging both. 


Insurance & Fees

I don’t currently accept insurance but can provide you a super bill (so you can get a portion of your fee covered by your insurance if you have coverage).

I’ve been a therapist for more than 17 years & I found that starting with a per session (coming in one session at a time with no clear end) makes the therapy process longer & less effective. So, depending on your situation, I offer 3 options to start our work together: all options are accelerated, gentle, targeted healing sessions that range from 3 days to 4 months. 

Options for therapy packages start from $1800. Installments for up to 12 months are available.

Frequently asked questions

Is therapy for me?

If you’re overwhelmed & have tried to make things work on your own but still stressed out, therapy can help you. 

You don’t have to have a diagnosis or have experienced trauma to be in therapy. 

If you want to feel better and/or be a better version of yourself, therapy is the place for you.


I don’t have time for therapy? Can this work?

Totally, get it! This is why one of my options for your therapy is called an intensive retreat , a 2-4 days, accelerated, gentle & target healing for busy people like yourself.

But I assure you the value you will get in therapy is worth your time and one result of therapy that is rarely talked about is that it will expand your time. How? Because you feel better about yourself & your relationships & you will naturally find yourself in situations & with people that replenishes your energy rather than depletes it.


Can I afford therapy?

Therapy is an investment in your time, energy & money. You will have to decide if feeling good about yourself & being in relationships that fill you is worth that investment.

Therapy packages are tailored to your unique need(s) & start at $1800. Installments are available.


Can I see you on-line or in your office?

The option for virtual is available and if you live near Solano County: Fairfield, Vacaville, Vallejo, Napa, Benicia, or willing to travel, I can meet you in my studio office.

How long before I can see a difference in my life?

Considering your openness & willingness to practice what you've learned in therapy, my clients report a change in perception, mood, and/or overall well-being in a few days or weeks.

*Everyone's situation is different & some things may need more time in therapy.


How can I pay you?

I will email you an invoice depending on the fee schedule we agreed on. I use square which accepts all major credit cards including Health Savings Account (HSA).
