M.A., LMFT
Leya is a mother of two, a first-generation Filipina American, and a Long Beach native. A domestic violence survivor and past victim of crime, she brings lived experience to her commitment to education and prevention. After navigating adversity throughout her twenties and thirties, Leya created LoveWise as a way to turn past pain into purpose.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, her work focuses on trauma and relationship concerns. She owns Illuminate Psychotherapy® in Long Beach, California, and is pursuing a Doctor of Education in Mental Health Leadership at USC.
Through LoveWise, she brings practical mental health and relationship education into the community, helping people recognize harmful patterns, build protective skills, and understand options for support. Through community social-emotional learning workshops and the developing Psi Lambda Phi™ Academic Honor Society initiative, she is connecting education, leadership, and service.
Small skills.
Meaningful possibilities.
What is social-emotional learning?
Social-emotional learning (SEL) helps people understand emotions, manage reactions, communicate with care, make thoughtful decisions, and build healthy relationships. LoveWise brings these everyday skills into community education.

A California 501(c)(3) Public Charity
Teaching the relationship skills every person deserves — domestic violence and trauma prevention through education and social emotional learning.
LoveWise™ Foundation builds emotional intelligence into education and relationships. We bring evidence-informed programs to schools and communities across California before crisis occurs, as well as, after harm has been done.
LoveWise™ is committed to equitable, culturally responsive programming with particular attention to historically underserved communities by mental health resources.
Our Mission
Education. Prevention. Connection.
Where Mental Health Meets Healthy Love
Education
Education is the core mechanism of impact. LoveWise™ translates evidence-based psychological and relational science into accessible, practical learning — workshops, curricula, community programming, and digital resources. The focus is on skills people can apply in real life: communication, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, consent, repair, and secure relating. Education bridges the gap between therapy and everyday life.
Prevention
LoveWise™ operates upstream — before crisis, violence, or relational breakdown occurs. By equipping individuals, couples, and families with clinically grounded relationship skills early, LoveWise™ reduces the likelihood of emotional harm, coercive dynamics, and intergenerational trauma. Prevention is not passive; it is the intentional building of emotional literacy, boundaries, and healthy attachment patterns before damage is done.
Connection
Healthy relationships depend of the people around us.
LoveWise™ creates space for honest conversations about mental health and love that normalize help-seeking, reducing stigma and intergenerational trauma. Community support and programming create a safe place for people to connect, be in alignment, and show up for one another.
Together, education builds mental capacity, prevention reduces harm, and connection shifts culture — forming a comprehensive and ethical model for lasting relational wellness.
Make a Donation
A donation to LoveWise™ is an investment in emotional intelligence and domestic violence prevention.
Your support funds upstream, evidence-based education that helps individuals, couples, and families develop healthy relationship skills before harm occurs and after it has been done— reducing the long-term human and economic costs of mental illness, domestic violence, and intergenerational trauma.
Donations directly support:
Preventive education that reduces reliance on emergency and clinical systems
Accessible community programs for populations who would otherwise never receive relationship or emotional-health education
Early intervention that strengthens emotional regulation, communication, and boundaries
Cultural change that reframes healthy love as a public-health necessity, not a private privilege
From a legal and ethical standpoint, philanthropic giving to prevention-based organizations yields the highest societal return on investment: fewer crises, lower healthcare and social-service costs, and stronger, more resilient communities.
From a human standpoint, your donation helps stop harm before it begins, as well as, after harm has been done —protecting lives, families, and futures.
