Someday is Today! As a therapist, I employ a holistic view. I respectfully explore behavioral, emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual aspects of my client's life. My style is warm and active. My work uses an existential-integrative here-and -now approach that is grounded in proven methodologies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TEAM-CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment, and Choice Theory. I give feedback, suggestions, ideas, and psychoeducation. I am skilled in working with multi-disciplinary teams to help you get the fullest benefits from treatment.

Hi, my name is Emmylou and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with many years of experience working with families, children, and adolescents including foster youths and adoptees providing individual, family and group therapy. Over the last 5 years, I have also had the pleasure of working with adults in both community-based and hospital settings. I have extensive experience in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, family/parent and child concerns, behavioral issues, adjustments, and parenting. My working style is interactive, authentic, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and collaborative.

When the impact of mental health becomes too much, because that’s what happens to humans, we can start to feel overwhelmed and naturally our mind and body finds ways to cope. Sometimes the coping mechanisms people try don't always work. Healing is a journey, and there is no "right" way to do it. It's important to listen to your body, seek support and trust that you have the resilience and strength to make it through even the hardest moments. You don't have to have a mental illness to prioritize your mental health. Everyone can benefit from taking care of their emotional wellbeing.

AVAILABLE ONLINE. I specialize in couples therapy/marriage counseling. When working with you as a couple (or individually) I help you build closeness and connection; recover from an affair; give you practical tools to improve your communication and understand what guides your emotions; work through anxiety, depression, and ADHD within the relationship; resolve blended family issues; provide support during and after a divorce and while you are going through major life transitions. If your goal is to reconnect, repair and strengthen your relationship - you have come to the right place - I can help.

By considering a therapist, you are taking a step towards improving your life, examining what needs to be changed and building upon what is already working. Life can get better and you have the power to change it. During difficult times, it is important to either develop healthy support systems or utilize the ones that we already have. Seeking therapy is one piece of a healthy support system. You are acknowledging that some aspects of your life may not be going well and need to be changed. Therapy can help you to put life in perspective.

Therapy is essential to healing from crisis-related trauma, however it does not always have to be crisis responsive. You may want to change self-defeating behaviors or develop or improve your sense of purpose. While the influence of life experience from infancy through adulthood is undeniable, I specialize in using person-centered therapy that focuses on the present with strengths-based, solutions-oriented emphasis and holistic and mindfulness practices that nurture self- awareness.

I work with couples utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and with individuals utilizing Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). EFT has been demonstrated to be highly effective in helping couples change unhelpful patterns, repair trust, and create a more secure bond. EFT is based on the premise that what humans crave most is love and security. It would make sense that when we feel our love connection is threatened (often triggered by issues related to money, sex, parenting, in-laws, etc) we might either pursue our partner, desperately trying to “fix” the relationship, or defend ourselves by withdrawing.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward feeling better and living a better life! While it can be overwhelming to contemplate trying therapy, with a little time and energy, therapy can make a positive difference in your life. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in overcoming challenges and making positive changes in your life. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty connecting with others, or you are navigating a life transition. I love to work with parents and children to help create a more peaceful home life.

These can be stressful and isolating times. I am here to listen and help you to experience more joy, less anxiety and depression. I specialize in grief counseling. Grief is inherent in many life transitions; such as divorce, retirement, empty nest, job loss and the loss of a loved one (human or pet). If you are experiencing conflict in your relationship, I can help you as well. Please reach out.

Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and challenged by the many demands in our lives. Managing relationships, parenting, and work/life balance can leave us feeling lost and confused on how to move forward. And sadly, not addressing these challenges can lead us to feeling like we’re drowning and far from living a fulfilling life. We believe that it shouldn’t be so hard to live better. We can change for the better, and a lot of times, all we need is support, understanding, and hope to find those answers in a collaborative and comfortable environment.
