Great to meet you!

I am Emily, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and couples who are ready to feel more grounded, connected, and like themselves again. I bring a warm, affirming, and strengths-based style, and I welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds. When you are ready, I would be glad to see if we are a good fit.

My approach to therapy

In my therapeutic space, I help clients address concerns such as sexual desire discrepancies, sexual anxiety, intimacy challenges, communication around sex, and changes in sexual functioning across the lifespan. With couples, I focus on fostering open dialogue, strengthening emotional and erotic connection, and supporting partners in developing more satisfying intimate relationships. Throughout, I lean on the strengths you already have and meet you where you are, so therapy feels practical, affirming, and genuinely yours.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is really just a chance to get to know each other, and you do not need to have it all figured out. We'll talk about what brought you in, what matters most to you, and what your goals for therapy are. You can ask me anything about how I work and discuss expectations. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about what is ahead!
