Virginia “Virgie” Cantorna was born in the USA to Catholic, Filipino immigrants. Her parents spoke the Ilocano dialect at home but were adamant that she and her sisters learn “good English.”
As a registered nurse and licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Virginia Cantorna offers culturally sensitive counseling and consultation in her private practice, specializing in depression and anxiety disorders. She is often asked to speak on racism and discrimination, culture, suicide prevention, couple’s communication, and relationship repair. Virgie is also a leader in the Filipino community and an activist for social justice, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and equality.
In her free time, Virgie loves to write, paint, sing, and perform in musical theater. She resides in Maui, Hawaii, with her darling husband of almost forty years. Her daughter, grandson, pugs, and tuxedo cat add sparkle to her life.
