My communication style

Sessions look different than skills-based therapy. We talk about your life now and your past. We pay attention to patterns, to what you do without thinking, to the stories you tell yourself. I ask questions that might not have easy answers. The work happens between sessions as much as during them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked as a sign language interpreter for 30 years, learning to be present during people's most vulnerable moments. I also left a rigid religious system and understand how deep that conditioning goes and what it takes to excavate it. Both experiences—witnessing vulnerability and navigating my own recovery—led me to therapy.

My goals for you

You'll understand where your patterns started instead of just managing them. You'll learn what messages you absorbed, why you believed them, and what keeps them running. This isn't about fixing you—it's about understanding yourself.

Our first session

We'll talk about what brought you here and what you're hoping to understand. I'll ask about your life now and your past. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready to share. The first session is about getting to know each other and seeing if we're a good fit.
