American Sign Language (ASL) Therapists in Redlands, CA

I believe in taking a client centered approach in therapy and the person I am working with is the expert on their own life, and would benefit from unbiased, non-judgemental feedback and support. I am a CODA, child of deaf adult and fluent in American sign language, and I am a new mom myself. I thrive in working with people on their healing journey of processing past trauma, and working at that persons pace and take an empowerment, feminist approach as well.

I am a generalist who works with adult clients on a variety of different issues including depression, insomnia, anxiety and panic, PTSD, anger, relationships, parenting, and many other concerns. I also conduct bariatric and spinal cord stimulator pre-surgical evaluations.

Since graduating from New York University with an MSW degree, I have been working as a psychotherapist. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based process to trigger goal-oriented actions. I am DBT informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have extensive experience with individual, family, couples, and group therapies. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have worked closely with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. I see a mix of Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clientele of all ages.

My hope is to help the client and families reach their goals and to provide them with a safe and non-judgmental place to do that. When working with a client, I will assist in allowing the client and families to process feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Please note, I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and can provide counseling services for the deaf community.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings. Our team of therapists bring years of therapy experience. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are Deaf or come from Deaf families (includes hearing family/friends who sign). We provide a supportive, nurturing environment. We use a multimodal approach incorporating mind-body therapies with evidence-based treatments.

My clients come to me for a wide range of symptoms, but what they have in common is deep-seated feelings and thoughts of emptiness, loneliness, being unworthy or less-than, having to be perfect or ensure everyone else's comfort, being ignored, or being unloved and unlovable. They feel dead or numb inside, or experience big emotions such as fear and anger that seem out of proportion to what's going on. They want to feel loved, connected with others, optimistic and peaceful inside. They want to be able to feel their emotions without being overwhelmed by them. and maintain authentic and mutually fulfilling relationships.

Let's be real, none of us have the perfect life, perfect family or perfect attitude at all times- guess what? Me neither! This means I am not fragile, I've been through devastating traumas, the gut wrenching pain of grief and the shakiness of self-doubt. We are all human and we all have different experiences with life. Your unique knowledge including your spirituality, culture and generational awareness can become your superpower to creating, realizing and understanding the world that you live in. Let's talk about it.
