Have you tried to manage symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and depression with distractions, self-medicating behaviors, and hoping time will make things better, but instead, they worsen? The frequency and intensity of these symptoms feel like a dark cloud before a storm that does not clear up, causing feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I encourage you to try therapy. If that speaks to you, use the filters on this page to find a provider that speaks to your individual needs, or if you want to communicate with me, click “email me,” and I will reach out to you. Together we will develop a treatment plan that will work for you.

I have been a therapist for over twenty years and have loved almost every minute of it. Everyone needs more support, new strategies and new perspectives because our lives are always changing. My primary orientation is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a combination of Mindfulness Practice and skills for the moment and the long term. Whether it's for a short-term problem or a long-term pattern, lets hang out and build the life you want to lead. Many times connecting with ourselves and figuring out our best path can be confusing- I am here to help you figure out how to quiet some of the noise and tune in to your true self.

Hello! My name is Emily. I am a pre-licensed clinician under the supervision of an LMHC at Compass Social Skills and Counseling. I have worked with children and families for nearly 8 years. I have experience with a wide range of ages and love working with adolescents, teens, college students, and young adults. I have been seeing clients virtually through a Telehealth platform for over a year now and have found so many wonderful benefits to this new modality, I find that kids are far more adaptive and responsive to virtual than originally imagined.

I work with women to identify and conquer fears, obsessions, or unhealthy patterns of living that have resulted in feeling powerless. You may be experiencing the grip of anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, addiction, trauma, self-esteem/self-worth, body-image, disordered eating or ADHD. Together we will explore through a holistic approach how to create a more balanced life. Have simple daily tasks become overwhelming? Are your obsessive thoughts leading to a distortion of reality or are you holding on to the “idea” of perfectionism? You may feel frozen, stuck or on autopilot.

Stressed out, burnt out, anxious? I primarily work with adults struggling with anxiety, burnout, and relationship issues. If we don't have the right tools it can lead to a lot of self-doubt and insecurity. It's especially true if early relationships were not healthy. If you'd like to feel more hopeful, set better boundaries with others, manage your expectations, and improve relationships, my goal is to give you the tools to have a healthy control over your life.

Change is good, but change is also hard! In my experience, therapy is about working with individuals to help them reach their life goals, despite obstacles and maximize their potential. Despite the hard work involved, my mission is for therapy to be a positive experience. Simply stated, it should be a collaborative effort based on problem solving, support and the exchange of ideas. Additionally, treatment needs to be developed in the context of a person's life experiences and history. My hope is as treatment progresses individuals can move forward with what they have learned to independently facilitate future change.
