I offer mental health services for children (5+), adolescents, and adult women. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based.

First and foremost, thank you for seeking out therapy. Choosing to be emotionally open with someone you don’t know can be extremely difficult. You might feel skeptical or anxious, like it’s a waste of time or I’ll judge you for what you tell me. You don’t know me yet, but please trust me when I say that neither of those are true. Regardless of your reason for seeing me, I am your advocate. I will stand with you and help you accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish. Think of me like your well-informed sidekick.

I am passionate about supporting individuals while they work through depression, anxiety and other life stressors.

What's getting in the way of your living the life you want? Is it depression? Anxiety? Explosive anger? Whatever brings you to therapy, I would love to help you find a way forward. Offering a safe, confidential, judgement-free environment in which you can freely air your concerns, I will collaborate with you to explore what's not working for you, how it got that way, and how you might chart a path through and beyond it.

If you are struggling with your relationship with food, you are not alone. Our food environment can be a confusing minefield to navigate. Not to mention, we’re faced with harmful dieting messaging, confusing (and often contradictory) information about optimal health, a culture that’s obsessed with looks, and powerful emotional and biological urges to eat. All these factors can contribute to a quite complicated relationship with food and our body. If you feel like food is controlling your life, I want you to know that a different way of living is possible.

However you find yourself looking into therapy, welcome. As a clinician I am committed to co-cultivating affirming therapeutic space with clients. My practice is grounded in a commitment to social justice and guided by relational and intersectional feminist frameworks. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that centers the expressed unique needs of each client, tailoring therapeutic work to support clients in reaching their goals. I'm dedicated to bringing attention to the role that structures of oppression and intersecting identities play in client’s lives.

I am currently accepting new clients. Hi, I’m Emily! I am a clinical social worker and have been practicing for over ten years. I provide individual therapy to adults and have significant experience working with graduate and undergraduate college students and young professionals. Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or you’re trying again, I believe it is profoundly brave to ask for help. My clinical work focuses on identity development, life transitions and adjustment, relationship difficulties, trauma, eating and body image issues, perfectionism, anxiety and depression.

Can you imagine the relief you will feel when you are no longer carrying the burdens you have held for so long? Being able to have a peaceful loving relationship with food and your body. Coping with stressors without alcohol or drugs. Not having daily panic attacks. I know it may feel impossible but I watch incredible people do this work every day. You can too! I am also available to write a letter to support gender affirming care, clinical supervision for LLMSW, and consultation through a liberation lens.

There are several reasons why someone makes the decision to start therapy - relationship or family conflict, feeling hopeless or helpless, excessive worry or stress. Whatever your challenge is, we can work through it together whether you would like to meet a specific goal, improve a certain relationship, improve your overall quality of life, or if you just want a listening ear. Together we can tackle anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I am motivated by a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Immediate Same Week Openings! Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it! I get it, life can be stressful! All of our feelings are normal but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, negative thoughts, sound familiar?) You are deserving of a life you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.
