Hi there, I'm Emily. Do you feel overwhelmed with work, personal life, past trauma, and relationships? Are you struggling to keep up with it all? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?

Do you ever feel you're drifting through life, not fulfilled or passionate about your relationships, purpose, or career like you used to? Whether it be due to past traumas, toxic and abusive relationships, or lack of self-worth and purpose. Sometimes, we can come to a point in our lives where we feel we're constantly under stress, bored, disconnected, stagnant, and insignificant. If you can resonate with any of these feelings I want to work with you, and create a new sense of fulfillment and passion back into your life, relationships, and career. My approach is direct, clear, and practical with no judgments or shame.

At various stages in our life we may face new situations, traumas or feelings of sadness, anxiety or stress. It is during these times it can be beneficial to take a step towards helping ourselves, and by being here you are doing just that. I have a Family Systems approach, however I will use all evidenced based practices best suited for my clients. Some common examples are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Psycho Dynamic Therapy. I very much feel therapy is about my clients journey and I like to help assist their heeling in the most prudent fashion.

Life can be complicated, and there isn’t a handbook for managing issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationships. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and these challenges are opportunities for growth. You’re probably here because you feel it’s time to “do something different.” Let our team at Meridian Counseling guide you on this journey.

Do you ever find yourself wanting to start a task, create something new, go to the gym for the first time in a long time or begin a new career path? The excitement of this builds, then suddenly your mind starts telling you the story you've heard before. "I can't do it." "I don't have time." "It will be too hard for me." "I'll never actually be able to do it." These thoughts can be crippling and stop us from reaching our goals as humans. I want to help alleviate these anxious thoughts and support you in living the life you truly want for yourself.

We meet you where you're at and build on your resilience. We welcome you and invite you to start on your self care. We value diversity and acceptance; we work with all faiths, LBGTQ+, and all backgrounds.

As a Trauma-Informed therapist, I believe Transitional Age Folx deserve support. I support clients who are dealing with past trauma or other disheartening experiences and want to rebuild confidence. I always start from a brave look at their unique strengths to develop and implement coping strategies that actually work. My role during the therapeutic process is to be a non-directive affirming cheer-leader, with valuable awareness of our innate ability to thrive. I show up for all sessions non-judgmental, empathic, and genuine and I welcome first-time therapy seekers!

Are you struggling with your work-life balance, family unit, parent-child relationship, or other relationships? Are these conflicts bringing you overwhelming emotions and distress? Are you in need of more healthy coping skills? As a professional therapist (LMFT) of over 11 years, I strive to empower client success while being a guiding presence in a supportive and safe space.

Self development is a strength and it is something we have to constantly dedicate ourselves to do. However, It is not easy to deal with all of the issues that we encounter as being human. Allow me to guide you and help bring forth your unique strengths of resilience. I want to hear about what's important to you and what your needs are. I have worked with clients on various issues such as separation, trauma, depression, anxiety, family issues, relationship issues, and existential crises. I am currently not accepting clients; I can connect you with my colleagues trained in treating trauma, crisis, and couples.

Therapy has powerful tools with the potential to give you some relief and to dial down the negative moods and challenges that you face. My experience and training help to introduce healthy coping skills to handle the difficult things that you are struggling to change on your own, and the additional skill of helping you to learn not just how, but when to use those skills most effectively.

I tend to think of therapy like tupperware. It's a safe container to unload, feel, and heal from life experiences so that we can better adapt to hardship and change. We all don't live in the same world. Many have been missed by people or systems that fell short. Whether we have a communal or a lone wolf mentality, our (dis)abilities are visible/invisible, who we love, our religious/spiritual beliefs, and, race/ethnicity all inform the ways we experience life. This is why a blend of Humanistic, evidence-based CBT & DBT theories, and traditional wisdoms, shape the foundation of my approach.
