Hi! I am Emily and I am glad you are here. My ideal client is someone who is seeking a holistic, compassionate approach to treatment for their anxiety, depression, or other mental health symptoms. You may have tried medications before or may be exploring your options for the first time. You want someone who can provide a safe, non-judgmental space for open communication and personalized care, and your goal is to regain stability, find emotional resilience, and live a fulfilling life. You want guidance in overcoming their struggles to experience peace, empowerment, and hope for the future. I am here to help!
I am a board-certified Physician Assistant who can help with your mental health journey, while using a holistic approach to discuss medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. I believe that collaboration and open communication can help you to feel like your best self.
While I have experience treating a variety of mental health symptoms, I especially enjoy young adults with symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD, as well as the perinatal and pregnant population. I recognize that each patient is unique, and I aim to approach them with respect, actively listening to their concerns and individual needs.
