Hey, I’m Reina! (she/her)
I’m a licensed therapist who is passionate about creating inclusive spaces.
Currently accepting new patients!
My Approach
My approach is LGBTQIA+-affirming, kink/BDSM-affirming, and non-monogamy-affirming, and grounded in anti-racist, anti-carceral practice. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, especially internal family systems (IFS) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). I also incorporate attachment-based and somatic work into my practice.
I am a Certified Therapeutic Game Master! That means I have training in utilizing tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPG) such as Dungeons & Dragons as a therapeutic modality for individuals and groups.

Master of Social Work from Salisbury University
Independent clinical licensure in MD, DC, VA, DE, and MA

About Me
Hello! I’m Reina (she/her) and I’m excited to meet you! I identify as a nerdy, queer, polyamorous, kinky, immigrant woman. I was born in the Philippines, lived briefly in the Netherlands in my youth, and moved to the United States when I was seven.
I attended Seton Hall University where I received a B.S. in International Relations and Diplomacy, and returned to school as nontraditional student to earn my Master’s in Social Work at Salisbury University.
I spend my spare time practicing yoga, taking care of my houseplants, and restoring vintage typewriters.

Selecting a therapist is a very personal decision. I offer a free consultation to make sure we are on the same page about your needs and what I offer. If you are looking for a therapist who is inclusive, trauma-informed, and committed to creating safe spaces, then I’m your gal.
I am a fully licensed clinical social worker in MD, DC, VA, DE, and MA.

First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a free consultation to discuss your needs and determine whether it’s a good fit. If not, that’s ok! If so, we’ll schedule an initial intake session and I’ll send you an invitation link to complete the intake paperwork.
