I am a licensed clinical social worker, EMDR therapist, and the owner of Sunrise Counseling Services in Rockville, Maryland, providing therapy to those in the DMV area. I believe therapy is for everyone and we are all capable of growing and healing. In the therapeutic space, I bring in my years of experience, education, and knowledge of various therapeutic strategies and theories.

Welcome to Sunrise Counseling!

You are welcome here… just as you are.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost, you are in the right place and I’m so glad you are here. You don’t have to be alone in figuring out what’s next or what change might look like for you.

If you are feeling curious and open to gaining a greater understanding of yourself, deepening your self-awareness, learning coping strategies tailored to your specific needs, growing in your healthy communication and boundaries, and restoring your sense of agency over your own life, I would love to connect and provide a free consultation.

Who do I work with?

I work with kids, teens, and adults ages 10 and up as an EMDR therapist (click here to learn more about EMDR!). EMDR has been found to be incredibly successful in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and more. I also specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community and am passionate about being an LGBTQ+ affirming therapy practice.
