(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I help students with trauma, anxiety, academic pressure & identity questions using evidence-based tools & mindfulness. I also provide EMDR.
I am a trauma therapist and meditation teacher with an attuned, relational approach. I have a background as an English teacher with training at New York University, and a Master's in Social Work from the Ohio State University. I use EMDR to help clients experience shifts in anxiety and stress, as well as in their relation to their past, by processing patterns that no longer serve. We will work on things bit by bit, at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you. Whether you are looking for somatic trauma therapy or relief from shame, anxiety, or depression, I can help. With EMDR, healing is possible without needing to share detailed memories of what happened. Clients describe my presence as gentle and grounding. I have both witnessed and experienced the extraordinary capacity that humans have for change. With the right support, we can all transform profound pain into wisdom. In our sessions, you will feel seen and held as you slowly unfold into the person you have always been—and that which you are becoming.
