Hi, I’m Emily! I specialize in treating college students, young adults, and teens/kids who need support in the following areas: life transitions, relationships, depression/anxiety, life challenges/trauma, and behavioral/academic struggles. In my work, I help clients develop specific coping skills and create strategies for navigating life's challenges when they feel stuck.
I take a holistic approach by fostering open communication and a strong sense of connection. I am goal-oriented, non-judgmental, and always use a client-centered, inclusive approach, while also incorporating CBT techniques, expressive arts, sand play, and evidenced-based play therapy.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that every individual has the inherent capacity to heal and grow, particularly when provided with a safe and supportive environment. I strive to create a client-centered, trauma-informed space where my clients can express themselves freely, fostering connection and resilience.
