I want to help you and your child decrease the amount of fighting that occurs and uncover why your child behaves the way they do.

Later childhood and adolescence are one of the most challenging times in our lives. Whether you are a caregiver looking for someone to help your child manage the stressors that arise during these stages, or a teen looking for someone to help you navigate the emerging changes and challenges, my humanistic approach may be a good fit for you! I incorporate a whole person view when working with clients. Whether you are living with anxiety, depression, experiencing difficulty in family or peer relationships, or finding it a challenge acclimating to early adulthood, my collaborative approach may be the bridge toward optimal health.

My focus of interest is to become a therapeutic container to support the exploration of the mind-body connection within children and teens. I believe that the body carries valuable information about ourselves and our minds are actively trying to interpret it. I specialize in children who seek to improve their body awareness which provides coping skills for self-regulation, positive self-talk and overall physical/mental wellness. I have experience working with children with autism, adopted families, neurodivergent movers and people simply want a better connection with their bodies

I present with an open, light-hearted personality to support the establishment of trust and to build, engage, and grow with patients. My theoretical framework values the following core principles: communication, specifically through movement expression; supporting tension release and vitality; the role of imagery, fantasy, symbolism, and play in the therapeutic process, and the importance of meeting clients where they are physically, emotionally, and developmentally within a trusting environment.

Hi there! I'm Emilie. Does your child struggle to cope with big emotions or regulate their impulses? I empower children and adults to reach their full potential through a strength-based approach. I specialize in helping individuals with Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, and other behavioral or neurodevelopmental differences.

Momentum, motion, stepping forward. Here you are. I applaud you for taking a step in finding a therapist as a supportive partner on your journey towards continued health and wellbeing. My approach centers us, the therapeutic relationship, as the essential catalyst for transformation. If you are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, grief, or invested in learning more about who you are, we will develop goals together through a collaborative and relational process. Our work will identify your strengths, amplify them, and engage in creative experiences to support you in finding momentum towards greater psychological freedom.

I’m passionate about creating space for therapy participants to find fuller versions of themselves through exploration, play, and experiential learning. I believe that liberated imagination, mindful movement, and ability to sit with paradox are transformative skills that can be used towards individual and collective healing. My therapy style is person centered and strength based, I believe that you are the expert on you. I cultivate a warm and friendly space to connect and build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Are you feeling stressed or struggling emotionally? Are you going through significant life transitions? Experiencing losses? Feeling unhappy with yourself or in your relationships? Is your child or adolescent facing challenges? There is no doubt about it, we can find ourselves in difficult places as we journey through life. Most all of us have to face and go through tough times. As a seasoned therapist who has been practicing for more than 25 years, I know that life can throw us curveballs.

If you are looking for a therapy experience that goes beyond talking and helps you connect to your whole self, Dance/movement therapy could be for you!! If you have tried traditional "talk" therapy and it has not produced the changes you are wanting, a Dance/Movement therapy session will help you make shifts in session (literally!) that you can apply in your everyday life. If you or your child or teen does not like to "talk" about your feelings, DMT is a solution! At my core, I see movement as our path to wellness. Movement connects us to our physiology and psychology to really affect change- we cannot just think our way to change, we need to move it! I use the body, which is never in the past or future, as a tool to help clients become aware of your own physical and emotional states in the present. I strive to connect my clients to your bodies and from there we practice techniques to empower you to embrace living in your bodies and connecting to your whole self.

We are a nonprofit, community-based bereavement resource supporting children and families through grief. Our vision is to be the preferred and most trusted local bereavement resource for children and families by providing emotional support as they grieve the loss of someone they love.

I often view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients are those with medical illness or injury, caregivers, mothers, or trauma survivors who are faced with the impact that change in their physical self has on their mental and emotional well-being. Clients often wish to explore the mind-body connection, integrate non-verbal approaches, or find a new perspective on therapy. I also work with infants and children who deserve the same compassionate care, but don't benefit from verbal therapy in the same way.

I integrate expressive arts and evidence-based therapeutic practices. I emphasize change and choice through dance and therapeutic practices, awakening the conscious, exploring the past to bridge client’s experiences to their present self. I aim to help clients reconnect to their authentic self by finding compassion, self-acceptance, and a sense of freedom and inner strength. This connection reintegrates the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects into the client’s new narrative.

I also support a wide array of concerns beyond these.
