Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll begin to explore your mental health needs at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We’ll talk about your background, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope to get out of our work together. This time is also about beginning to build a strong therapeutic relationship—one based on trust, safety, and collaboration. We’ll work together to set clear goals and begin laying the foundation for meaningful, supportive progress.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am hearing and fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and English. My therapeutic style is gentle, warm, and affirming. I approach each session with empathy and respect, aiming to create a validating and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I take a person-centered and culturally sensitive approach, tailoring our work to your unique needs and experiences. Whether we're exploring difficult emotions or building new coping tools, I strive to foster a safe, supportive environment where healing and growth can happen at your own pace.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I primarily work with Deaf, deaf, Hard-of-Hearing (HOH), DeafDisabled, and late-deafened adults. I’m passionate about providing culturally sensitive and accessible care for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing communities. I also work with hearing adults and strive to create a welcoming, supportive space for everyone I meet with. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management. Whether you're navigating life transitions, coping with overwhelming emotions, or working through past experiences, I’m here to support you in building resilience, developing healthy coping tools, and moving toward a greater sense of peace and self-understanding.
