I focus with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing population, parents of deaf children, and ASC interpreters, etc. I also can work with the hearing population. I have worked as a boys counselor at a camp, job development coordinator, case Manager, school counselor and I work as a Mental Health Support Specialist at a Deaf Independence (Group) Home. With prior career experience, I have developed perspectives and skills from different deaf settings that help me in clinical counseling. As a conditional counselor, I explore modalities/therapeutic tools in treating disorders. It is my goal to find what modalities/therapeutic skills are effective in my practice and for my clients.
