Emily Jurich

I’m Emily, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I help people and couples who have experienced trauma and relationship issues. Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling anxious and on guard. Their thoughts race, their bodies never quite relax, and small things can feel like too much. For a lot of them, it goes back to growing up in a home that didn’t feel safe or steady, or to painful experiences that never got the attention they needed. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, ongoing anxiety, betrayal or relationship patterns you can’t seem to break, I’d love to help. I work with individuals and couples, and I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care, so you can bring your whole self into session.

Sometimes you know exactly why you feel the way you do, but knowing isn’t enough to make it stop. I use EMDR to help your brain process painful memories so they lose their grip, and you can respond to life from a place of calm instead of fear. My style is warm, direct and grounded in attachment, so we also look at how your past shapes the way you connect with others today.

Our first session is about getting to know you and what’s been weighing on you, with no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll talk about what you hope will feel different and how EMDR might help you get there. My hope is that you leave feeling understood and a little more hopeful that change is possible.
