Great to meet you!

Emily is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of post-degree experience in health care. After becoming a mother herself, Emily devoted her career to women's health and mental health after seeing first hand the challenges parents face and the limited resources available. Emily treats women ages 21+ with specialized experience working with women experiencing health challenges and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

My approach to therapy

Emily is a licensed clinical social worker with a strong background in health care, women’s health, and mental health. She brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach to therapy that blends with humor, informed by both her clinical experience and her understanding of the realities of motherhood. As a parent herself, she recognizes the complex physical, emotional, and mental shifts that can accompany life transitions and works collaboratively with clients to provide support, insight, and meaningful change. Her goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, normalized, and empowered as they move through challenging life transitions.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, clients can expect a comprehensive intake assessment and an open and safe discussion about goals of treatment.
