Hi, I'm Emily. I am an Art Therapist and a licensed Counselor. I work within a relational-cultural framework, which is based on the idea that disconnection is a source of suffering. We live in a time where the ability to connect is at our fingertips, but many of us still struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation. In my practice, I strive to foster meaningful and healthy connections with my clients and support them in learning new ways to move through the world. I help clients address current and past challenging life experiences, and always take into consideration each persons unique cultural background.

Welcome to the start of your mental health journey! I view it as one of my life's greatest privileges to witness a variety of human experiences and to hold a space for self-acceptance to grow.
I enjoy using relational and trauma-informed practices due to their focus on psychoeducation and coping skills, as well as processing personal history, attachment style, cultural and societal impacts, and more.
I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, and interpersonal issues. Building strong and shame-free relationships with clients is a priority in my personal practice. The vulnerability felt in therapy can be intimidating, so I value using connection as a tool of support. I've seen that creating connections rooted in mutual empathy and authenticity has helped my clients feel safe and supported, especially in times of deep vulnerability. Through a trauma-informed lens I also try to meet clients where they're at, following their desired pace and direction of growth.

How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.
Is relational therapy evidence-based?
Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.
How long are people typically in relational therapy?
Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.
Does relational therapy work?
While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
