Hello! I am Emily and I would love to learn more about your needs and goals for yourself or your relationship. Are you looking for someone to talk about personal issues and who could help you brainstorm, find new solutions and learn new skills? Are you going through anxiety, depression, or grief? Are you a couple with relationship or sexual questions? Are you a teen facing difficulties with school, friendships, dating, and sexuality? Are you a parent trying to better understand your teen? Or are you an adult interested in learning more about dating? Are you looking for a LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapist? If so, I can help!
My expertise includes anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, sex education and LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy. I have more than 10 years of experience as a sex educator, providing workshops to teens, adults and couples. I also counsel couples on a range of issues, from relationships to sex to parenting. I enjoy supporting clients achieve their goals.
I am very approachable and have great joy to work with teens, adults and couples seeking personal development, self-awareness, and empowerment. I offer a friendly, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to listen to you and help you find the answers to your questions. I welcome faith-based and secular clients. Please do not hesitate to contact me!
