About Me

I have been in the field for over a decade while practicing EMDR since 2021. As an LCSW, I help clients struggling with sexual trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, heartbreak, and dating/relationship issues, and more. I take a more egalitarian approach to my work where I share parts of my life and experiences while sprinkling in some humor, when appropriate. I am very open about the fact that I've been in therapy myself in order to normalize the struggle of the human condition. Most of the tools, resources, and interventions I use with my clients, I have used in my personal life. This way I can personally vouch for them.
