My name is Emanuela, and I am a trauma informed, EMDR trained therapist who can help you move through relational difficulties, address complex trauma, and find relief from depression and anxiety. With a warm and humorous style, I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where you can truly be yourself. As a therapist, I bring my own authenticity into the room, believing that genuine connection fosters a richer therapeutic experience. My north star is: "Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul." - Carl Jung
I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate relationships, life transitions, grief, addiction, and complex trauma. Utilizing an eclectic approach, I work to understand your history and experiences, recognizing your inherent uniqueness and individuality. I strive to understand what makes you, you.
If you feel that my approach resonates with you and you sense that we could work well together, I would be honored to be a part of your journey. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation call, where we can discuss your needs and therapeutic goals. I can’t wait to meet you.

I work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective because I truly believe that our early experiences and the relationships we've had deeply shape who we are. The relationship we build is at the heart of our work, and I'm here to support you with warmth and empathy, while also being willing to gently challenge you when needed to help you heal, grow, and create the life you want.
