We evaluate it with different eyes.

I notice when a tool is designed for someone at their best, but used by someone at their worst. I notice when a tool is solving for usage data while someone’s actual needs are going unmet. I notice when the language in an app assumes a cultural baseline that most of our highest-need users don’t share.

That awareness comes from years of clinical training — learning how distress actually presents, how identity shapes help-seeking, how the same intervention lands completely differently depending on who’s receiving it and what they’re carrying. It comes with an ethical obligation that doesn’t pause when the work moves into tech.

Empathy at scale still requires someone asking whether the person on the other side of the screen is being served or just processed.

Mental health tech is powerful. It also moves fast through populations that are already carrying a lot. Someone has to slow down long enough to ask what the tool is actually doing to a person, not just for them.

That’s the work I show up to do.

Al is already part of mental health care.
The question isn’t whether we use it.
It’s whether we’re creating systems that are actually safe for people.
My work in tech focuses on designing guardrails for Al in mental health.
That means thinking about things like psychological harm, misinterpretation, bias, over-reliance, and what happens when vulnerable people interact with automated systems.
Innovation without safety isn’t progress.
It’s risk disguised as efficiency.
This is the work behind the scenes that most people never see, but it matters deeply.

I practiced self care and gratitude this weekend. Spending time with some of your best friends Is comforting, invigorating, and giggle-inducing. I am thankful for our 20+ years of friendship that was founded on a passion for our Pinay culture.

Listen. Reflect. Accept. You know yourself — trust that.

With the new year comes opportunity to try new things. Allow me to introduce you to imagery association. Take this word and create vivid imagery that you connect to the word.

*Rebirth*

With this word in mind, identify images or scenes that you associate with the word. Identify things you hear, smell, see, taste, and can physically touch that you connect with the word “rebirth.” Acknowledge emotions that arise. Allow yourself a few moments to connect to the word through this vivid imagery exercise that involves all your senses.

To bring this to a close
—

Is there something connected to “rebirth” that you are thankful for? Express that gratitude.

Is there something you’d like to accomplish related to “rebirth”? Set that intention.

Here’s to 2022!

I know it’s been a minute, but I needed to refocus my energy the last few months. Grief is hard. There is no quick fix to it. One moment you’re trying to pick yourself up off the ground, the next you’re getting through the day without losing control of your emotions for 4 straight hours. Suddenly, the following day, you’ve slipped back into a inconsolable space that you have to fight to crawl out of. And when you have shared grief you’ll also find yourself trying to help your loved ones also suffering.

Grief doesn’t disappear. Grief becomes part of our new reality. We learn to live with it. It becomes a part of you.

I’m human first, wife and mother second, psychologist third. So these past few months I needed to shift my energy toward the first two and that’s okay.

May we all find peace.

It’s been a rough month for me and my family. We’ve suffered a losses that came with first-time challenges for many of us. I knew my limits and set boundaries for my own health. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that it’s okay to slow down and heal. It’s okay to step away from the daily grind to address your personal needs.

When we suffer a loss, it’s okay to grieve in whatever way you need to grieve.

Times can get hard. Listen to your body, mind, heart. If you need a break, take it. Protect your well-being.

Through it all, keep breathing.

I felt it appropriate to share this infographic from .

Person first. Athlete second.

The beauty of the rainbow exists because and with the clouds, rain, and sunshine.

Be with it all. All the good, not-so-good, bad, and neutral all exists — sometimes together. Be with it and keep it moving.

You got this.

presents “Tumubo,” which means “sprout, develop, or profit” in Tagalog: “We wanted to align with a theme of growth and change of the season, which incorporates the idea of blooming and spring-like elements like plants and nature. Our event will take place on Saturday, April 10, 2021.”

I hope to see you all in this space for Filipina/x/o wellness, mental health resources, and collective care.
