Online Psychotherapy with Dr. Catalina

Done settling?
It's time to claim your pleasure, power, and purpose.
Together, we’ll break old patterns and create the life you
Desire and Deserve.

What you see is what you get. I’m direct, no-nonsense, and deeply committed to our journey together. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking — it’s about experiencing, feeling, and doing.

We learn experientially and change in relationship.

Our relationship becomes the vehicle for change.  It’s about using our relationship to help you experience acceptance, resilience, and support in ways you may never have before.

Sexuality is our life force.

Whether you are looking to deepen your connection to yourself, your partner, or to pleasure, we will explore the role of sexuality in living a full, vibrant life.

Relationships are what make life worth living

I believe that embracing and asserting your needs, wants, and desires is key to creating the relationships you deserve..

What's my approach?

I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities to meet you where you are:

  • Somatic Approaches: Real change starts with the body. We’ll work to reconnect you to your physical self, helping you experience emotions and shifts at a deeper level.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): We’ll explore the many parts of you — the parts that protect, the parts that hurt, and the parts that need nurturing — so that you can live in a way that feels more whole.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We’ll challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills that you can take into your everyday life.
  • Tantra: Together, we’ll expand your capacity for pleasure, connection, and intimacy — tantra is about tapping into the energy that is within you and letting it lead the way.


Having worked in cancer care for over 20 years, I also bring an existential lens to our work. I understand what it’s like to face the big questions: “Why am I here? What really matters?” We’ll work together to explore these themes, embracing the complexity of life and finding meaning in your unique journey.

The Bigger Picture

My work is informed by my personal experiences as a first-generation Filipino American. I’ve been hyper-sexualized, faced prejudice, and had to navigate the intersections of my identity in ways that weren’t always easy. This gives me a lens — one that’s about honoring all parts of who we are, and working through the barriers society places on us.


I see you. All of you.

Together, we’ll work towards breaking free and embracing the full richness of who you are.

I integrate attachment theory, neuroscience, and tantra into all my individual work because I know that change happens when we address the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Therapy with me is an active process, one that challenges, inspires, and helps you create the kind of life you want to live.

Better intimacy starts here

Don’t worry, I get it: relationships and intimacy can be hard to navigate. But it’s time for you to experience your absolute birthright—exponential bliss. 

So let’s talk about it. Let me share with you my expertise.
