ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Emily.
Therapist + Lifelong Advocate for Mental Health
I'm a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping my clients achieve their fullest potential. I believe growth begins when you feel safe enough to explore, heal, and change. That is why I strive to provide you with a safe space to recharge, reflect, and reconnect with your authentically best self. I am passionate about supporting individuals who are navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that they would like to change. Does this resonate with? I can walk with you every step of the way on this new journey towards growth and wellness.
My approach blends trauma-informed care with behavioral strategies, helping you understand where your patterns come from while building practical skills to navigate life with greater confidence and intention.
Rooted in Training, Guided Through Experience.
Experience
Education & Credentials
My clinical experience has primarily focused emerging adults, women, and the LGBTQ+ community.

MY THERAPUETIC APPROACH
Come As You Are
I believe we all have the right to feel fulfilled, balanced, and whole. Life can get challenging sometimes, leaving us feeling stuck, lost, and even exhausted. That is why I strive to provide you with a safe space to recharge, reflect, and reconnect with your authentically best self. If you are new to counseling, welcome! Starting counseling can feel daunting and honestly ⎯ weird. But I can walk with you every step of the way on this new journey towards growth and wellness. I am passionate about meeting you where you are and empowering you to gain the tools you need to achieve your goals.
You might be here because you are tired of being stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed by stress and emotions, or carrying past experiences that continue to show up in the present. My trauma-informed approach integrates EMDR, DBT, ACT, and CBT to help you heal from past experiences while developing practical tools for the present.
