My name is Emily, and my practice/calling as a therapist revolves around co-creating a nurturing space WITH you that empowers desired shifts in your life, according to your unique experiences and values. The human adventure can be complicated, and we are not often taught the skills we need to navigate according to our "true North". I help incrementally increase self-awareness, bolstering wellness and vitality in a way that feels organic and natural to each individual. I believe therapy is not only for what is going "wrong", but for what is right, therefore I focus on strengths and solutions as much as on struggles.

Are you looking for someone to engage with you where you feel the most stuck? Sometimes the relationships that are supposed to be the most significant create the most heartache and pain.

I work with teens and adults who are experiencing mood disorders, eating disorders, and trauma. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and EMDR, a research-based method for trauma resolution.

Some people talk through things, while others do artwork. I take time to learn my clients’ needs and then guide them into the coping practice that best serves them.

So, how's the scroll? Looking for a therapist can be stressful enough because most people are unsure how to find the right therapist. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship with your counselor.

I’m definitely a straight shooter, and I tell it like it is, but I always have your best interests in mind. I combine evidence-based treatments with talk therapy, and somehow, humor tends to creep in from time to time too.

Together we can explore your story and create more satisfaction, enjoyment, and purpose for you.
