Great to meet you!

I’m Emily, owner of Alive and Whole Wellness and a Houston-based therapist. I specialize in therapy for lasting change by helping my clients heal at the root of their anxiety and move forward in life alive in purpose, whole in identity, and free from fear.

What to expect through therapy

Imagine a space where...

  • You have a safe, trusting relationship where you freely and securely share your story.
  • You identify the roots of your struggles and experience healing in mind, body, and spirit.
  • You learn to reconnect with your sense of self and step back into life alive, whole, and free.
  • Your past no longer keeps you feeling stuck, but becomes a part of your testimony as you move forward.

My approach to therapy

At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that you were created to experience embodied healing in mind, body, and spirit. The embodied approach centers on the belief that the brain and nervous system were designed to move toward healing and wholeness through experiences of warmth, rest, and connection. I help my clients achieve lasting healing from the distress of anxiety through EMDR, integrative Christian counseling, and evidence-based calming techniques for anxiety.

In our sessions together, we will...

Calm and regulate your nervous system response

Process and release out anxiety stored in your body

Reconnect your mind, body, and spirit

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is an intake session where we will discuss your needs and reasons for seeking therapy in more detail, discuss our therapeutic relationship, begin to establish the best clinical plan for your needs, and learn any immediate skills to help you regulate before your next session.
