Hi, I'm Emily. Something brought you to this website in search of a therapist or counselor. Maybe it was a single event or problem, like a loss of a loved one or a sudden change in job status Or maybe you've been struggling with a multitude of stressors and are feeling burned out, anxious, depressed, disconnected, and fatigued. What would your life be like if you no longer experienced these issues? How do you get to that point? These questions are the foundation of my therapeutic approach, which is goal-oriented, solution-focused, and personalized to you as an individual. Your goals are unique to you, so it takes a unique approach.

Feeling stuck and want to get unstuck? Know something isn't working in life, but not exactly sure where to start? I work with clients to help them recover a full life. I specialize in working with: 1) couples struggling with communication and conflict resolution 2) professionals wanting more (i.e. income/raise, promotion, work-life balance) from work 3) addicts (sex, alcohol, narcotics) wanting freedom 4) narcissistic men wanting help in relationships or 'survivors' of narcissistic relationships seeking recovery 5) anyone wanting to grow their emotional communication and increase their interpersonal availability. I also specialize in group therapy facilitation.

My heart is to work with those who are feeling overwhelmed by life, those who are seeking hope and healing from trauma, or those who are feeling isolated and looking for help finding their place to belong. My goal is to come alongside my clients and create a space where they feel comfortable and safe to be able to work through any obstacle they may be facing.

Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connection with others. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way of these things - not because we’re somehow "defective" or "flawed." I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong" or unacceptable.

I have always had a passion for walking alongside individuals struggling with life's transitional difficulties. I enjoy working with adult women and men looking to confront their obstacles in order to experience a life of confidence, peace, and contentment. My expressed interests are helping those dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. I also work with couples in the areas of pre-marital, distressed marital, and divorce adjustment counseling. Additionally I provide counseling for primary caregivers and the life transitional stage issues. Therapy is a never-ending gift!

Ideal clients are individuals who may struggle to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, or life in general, feel stuck in recurrent problematic behavioral or relationship patterns, and want to improve their life and feel at peace. We all have an innate ability to grow and heal. My primary job as a therapist is to help clients tap into that healing process and reconnect with and strengthen their natural resources, talents, and spirit so that they can become the person they want and were created to be.

I am comfortable utilizing an integrated approach that synthesizes my Christian values with research based practices if desired.

Do you find yourself exhausted as you try to navigate day to day life experiences perfectly? Or engaging in unhealthy coping skills to make it through the day? Or withdrawing from people you care about because you don’t feel connected? All the while trying to silence that inner voice that whispers-or yells-’not enough’? You may not know where these feelings come from or when you felt differently. You do know that you're ready for some relief. You're ready to gain a better understanding of yourself, be able to more skillfully engage in relationships, to practice healthy self-care, and ultimately interact kindly with yourself.

I specialize in supporting 3 types of clients - individuals who find themselves swimming in a sea of their thoughts, high-achievers who feel like they've outgrown their friendships and relationships, and overachievers who don't know how to use the word 'no'. As someone who has experienced and navigated through all of these issues myself, I have a great deal of understanding and compassion for what you're going through. If you're the kind of person who second-guesses yourself I just want to say I GET it! And I'm ready to help you sort through the mental maze.

I am a licensed counselor/coach and I help people achieve life balance and peace of mind. I help people with a wide variety of life stressors, transitions and challenges. I'll talk with you about what you'd like to get out of therapy or coaching, set goals, and individualize the best way to reach those goals.

If you're buried by the day-to-day stress of life, beat down by task lists or strained relationships, or if you've had some major event knock your life off balance, you may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, angry, trapped, or depressed. Too much negative stress, whether chronic or immediate, takes over our ability to cope and throws us into a negative spiral that is hard to recover from. There is help though and you don't have to try to pull out of that spiral on your own.

I love a few things: motorcycles, basketball, coffee, great books..... and water. I'm alive on the water, fishing rod in hand, my prize unseen beneath me, prowling the deep. I love counseling for the same reason. Searching the depths of the self in order to find, catch, and admire what lies beneath the surface of awareness. My world came crashing down when I was 19. Pain, fear, confusion, and anger were my constant companions for a long season. I began my own journey of healing with a gifted and caring therapist. It was beautiful and terrifying. And helpful.
