I am a Deaf LCSW and Neuropsychotherapist (NPT-C) with nearly 20 years of experience dedicated to high-achieving individuals facing systemic pressure. My clinical work integrates Neuropsychotherapy and Executive Management principles to cultivate cognitive resilience and self-mastery. My foundation includes four advanced degrees, culminating in my doctoral research which focused on systemic complexity and inclusive leadership. I bring extensive experience as a former leader in state government, non-profit, and private sectors. This background allows me to treat vocational stress, anxiety, and burnout with humble competence and real-world relevance. I communicate effectively via voice, video, and American Sign Language (ASL). I am committed to creating affirming, psychologically safe, and accessible spaces for all individuals to thrive.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, accepted, and supported. For more than 13 years, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, women's issues, and stress. I've also supported individuals navigating crisis, childhood and domestic abuse, co-dependency, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and begin moving toward the life you want at a pace that feels comfortable.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
