Hi! I am Emily and I am glad you are here. My ideal client is someone with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, who is seeking a holistic, compassionate approach to treatment. 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.
