In-Person

I’m a compassionate, person-centered therapist who creates a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. I am passionate about working with marginalized groups, although I serve those from all walks of life. I have a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Gallaudet University and I am a certified Sign Language Interpreter. I worked as a Disability Support Services counselor providing short-term therapy for students with disabilities including depression, anxiety, ADHD and trauma, as well as advocating for their rights to access. I use a person-centered approach to therapy, incorporating evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy, to assist in exploring the root of the challenges being faced.
