Hi there, I'm Emily. I am a clinical social worker and psychotherapist in private practice, licensed in California since 2018. I have over 20 years of experience as a social worker. I am passionate about helping women, men, and adolescents reconnect to their truest, most authentic selves.
Whether you are struggling with trauma reminders, addiction, relationship dysfunction, battered self-esteem, or cycles of depression and anxiety, I'm here to help.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). To recover from trauma, I will help you reestablish safety and trust in yourself and the world around you. You can learn to self-soothe and ground yourself when triggered, mourn what was lost, and reframe the events of the past as something that happened, but do not define you.
We will conduct a thorough intake and assessment and build a treatment plan with goals that are self-directed, measurable, realistic, and achievable. Every so often, we will review these goals to check if they are still relevant and on-target.
Clients can expect to leave our sessions feeling a little bit lighter, more connected, more seen, more validated, and armed with new tools, insight, and strategies to handle overwhelming emotions or interpersonal and social scenarios.
