Emily believes in counseling from a holistic approach emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. She views clients’ concerns as an indication of unaddressed and perhaps maladaptive coping patterns rather than fundamental, personal dysfunction.
Using a combination of Internal Family Systems therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she helps clients make sense of their concerns and clarify a direction forward.
Emily is also trained in the Gottman Method and helps couples navigate conflict, infidelity, parenting, and other relational concerns.
Her areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and issues related to body image/acceptance. Emily is passionate about supporting individuals as they work to discover and/or reclaim their authentic selves. She does this with a warm, engaging, and friendly personality.

The privilege and honor of
being trusted with another
human’s experience.
Witnessing the bravery,
vulnerability, hard work,
and sense of humor it takes
to heal. I value the moments
when I know there is
something bigger and deeper
than I can explain happening
in the space between my
client and me.
Just like we have to be
intentional about nurturing
our physical health, we have
to be intentional about
nurturing our mental and
spiritual health. Sometimes we
need intentional space and
intentional time for this and
someone to facilitate the
process.
Like my equal. Safe, deeply
heard, unburdened, and
empowered.
I get excited when I see clients
learn to bring compassion and
curiousity to their painful
symptoms, situations, and
cycles instead of judging or
avoiding them. When I see
them make new connections
and bring new understandings
to these things. I feel excited
helping clients navigate for a
while and then step out of the
way to see them tap into their
core selves and uncover
internal resources
and answers that were there
all along.
Since I was in elementary
school, people have
approached me and shared
their struggles. When I went to
college, I had no idea what I
wanted to do and started as a
fine arts major. My sophomore
year, I randomly took an,
“Intro to Counseling” class
and it clicked.
It just made sense to me. I’ve
always been interested in the
common threads that run
through our individual
struggles and stories in finding
deep meaning, healing, and
hope in life.
