Hi! I'm Emily, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering services in NC and FL. I attended Appalachian State University for undergrad, and completed my Master in Social Work at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. As a therapist, I've worked closely with children, parents, teens, and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, challenging life transitions, and helping people gain a stronger sense of self.
My approach is strongly rooted in knowing that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant predictors of success in therapy. Taking a person-centered approach, I pull from various modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and others to meet your needs in a way that feels human and not too clinical. I'm also trained in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and have notable experience providing trauma therapy for children and their supporting caregivers.
In our initial session, I want to gain as much insight as possible into who you are and what brings you to therapy. I hope to get to know you in a professional, yet welcoming and friendly manner so that you feel comfortable being open and honest about the goals you’d like to achieve in our time working together. In the following sessions, I show up with your goals in mind to guide our conversations, but prioritize what feels most significant to you.
