Your true healing, growth, authentic self, and full potential lie beyond four walls of a clinician's office. It takes courage to start the therapeutic process. If you are looking for a holistic, creative way to improve your mental health, I can support and guide you in your journey. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you've had many years of experience, if you're ready for real personal change, a new approach, and want to delve deeply into the therapeutic process, I'm here to guide you.
I use creative and alternative modalities as healing tools, including expressive and visual arts, guided meditation, and yoga. I am also trained in traditional talk therapy, including Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. With a person-centered focus, my practice blends traditional and alternative styles, depending on each client's needs.
A client once said, "When I'm with Emily, I feel at home." I hope for all people to feel welcome and comfortable entering a therapeutic space. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you home, within yourself, your community, and the world!
