Growing up in the Philippines and immigrating to the U.S. as an adult has shaped how Flixie understands healing, resilience, and connection. These experiences taught her the beauty and complexity of belonging to two cultures—how migration can both challenge and strengthen one’s sense of identity and home. Flixie brings this bicultural understanding into her work, holding space for clients who are navigating change, loss, and rediscovery within themselves and their relationships.

Flixie’s goal is to create a space that feels safe enough for authenticity, reflection, and growth. Healing is about showing up as we are, honoring our stories, and taking intentional, meaningful steps toward restoration and connection. In every session, Flixie collaborates with her clients to reconnect with their inner strength, nurture compassion for themselves, and build relationships that support their authentic selves. She supports clients healing from a wide range of trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma and its impact on relationships and sense of self, as well as those navigating anxiety, OCD, migration, cultural transitions, and family dynamics.

Her approach is trauma-informed, rooted in cultural humility, collaborative and relational, grounded in curiosity and compassion. Flixie’s therapeutic lens is integrative and eclectic—she draws from different modalities depending on what each client needs at their own pace and stage of healing. Among her primary approaches are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, Gestalt, Attachment Theory, and techniques informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Somatic practices to meet each client where they are. 

Flixie graduated from the University of the Philippines in Diliman with a Bachelor of Science in Community Development, minor in Psychology, and earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University. Before pursuing her master’s degree, she worked as a social worker with the County of Orange, serving Filipino older adults (age 65 and above) and their families through the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. In this role, she helped ensure that clients received the care, resources, and advocacy needed to maintain their well-being and independence in their homes.

Outside of therapy, Flixie finds grounding through time in the ocean, caring for animals, and engaging in community spaces that celebrate culture and connection.
