Hi. You have tried so hard! You've gone to therapy, maybe even for years, but nothing has really worked. You’ve tried workbooks, followed instagram accounts, all of it. I’m at my best as a therapist when working with clients who have found traditional talk therapy helpful at first, but eventually, ineffective. Therapists are not magic, but you have the medicine inside you to heal yourself, from trauma, broken relationships, all of it. I love working with helpers, including fellow therapists, and folks who are ready to be their own healers. I have a special interest in working with sufferers of chronic and life-threatening disease.
I am certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and in Janina Fisher's Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST). I have completed the Internal Family Systems level 1 training. I am also an approved consultant with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and can provide consultation to providers interested in somatic approaches.
As a trauma therapist, I am absolutely committed to providing the best treatment possible to my clients. I try to keep current with the latest knowledge about trauma treatment and I don't mess around. I'm not here to waste your time or money. Trauma therapy is difficult enough, its important to feel like you can trust your therapist to do their job.

My clients tell me that therapy with me is very different from what they have experienced before, and that it is very effective. We will go slow, as slower is faster! It should be noted, I have a sense of humor that one could call... irreverent. I also curse like a sailor.

If you're looking for a trauma specialist, Emily is the person to go to! She is not only caring, and down-to-earth but also works hard to constantly educate herself on current somatic and trauma information. I highly recommend her as a provider!

I use a blend of Sensorimotor psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems therapy, combined with psychoeducation. This approach was created and taught to me by Janina Fisher and is called Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment. My clients often report to me that they find this blend very powerful.
