Therapy is a profoundly human endeavor that allows us to untangle the past and live more fully in the present, enabling us to alter the trajectory of our futures. Hello, I'm Em! I consider it an honor to help others forge ahead in the face of life’s challenges and sufferings. My approach is warm, conversational, and non-pathologizing. I show up to sessions with humility and flexibility, collaborating with you to personalize treatment. Though therapy can be a heavy undertaking, I believe in the infusion of humor (and even fun!) into the process.
I serve individuals and couples. I particularly enjoy working with anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions and personal crises, complex trauma, anger, identity formation, and interpersonal issues. I blend insight-based talk therapy with skill development and somatic techniques.
Whether you’re entrenched in emotional pain, spinning your wheels in long-held patterns and thought processes, or experiencing any other detriment to psychological wellness, you’ve recognized that something in your life warrants a change. I am here to support you on the (often unpredictable and bumpy) path of healing.
