Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Emily and I’m glad that our paths have intersected and landed you here! As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people in varied clinical and public policy settings. From these experiences, I have developed an approach that is extremely person centered and I prioritize my role as an advocate to champion your needs. I am passionate about elevating my clients voice to prioritize their well deserved opportunity to thrive.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist, I utilize a lot of imagery and symbolism, humor, when appropriate, and I prioritize a deeply compassionate approach to all of my work. I use an attachment-based lens to my work with clients and I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Trauma-Based Relational Interventions.

What you can expect from me

Counseling can be a hard journey to leap into and I’m glad you are here exploring your options. I promise as a therapist to first and foremost value your identity as an individual. I look forward to supporting you in cultivating a path forward that allows you to be your most authentic self, reach out today and we can set up a consultation call!
