Great to meet you!

Ms. Emmer believes in creating a safe, nurturing space to allow clients to explore their feelings in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.

Ms. Emmer works with clients to process difficult emotions related to early experiences, which allows clients to decrease depression/anxiety.

My approach to therapy

Ms. Emmer believes that we have events in our childhood where we may have experienced shame, rejection and an inability to get our needs met. These difficult experiences can lead to depression and anxiety.

Ms. Emmer works with clients to process difficult emotions related to these experiences, which allows clients to decrease depression/anxiety.

What you can expect from me

Ms. Emmer utilizes CBT, mindfulness, guided imagery and communication techniques to help clients build self-confidence and self – efficacy. Clients will heal from traumatic events; learn to make sense of past experiences and apply what they have learned in new way in their lives.
