My clients are aware that something is not working and are motivated for change, even if they're not sure where exactly that change starts. My clients deeply understand the systemic stressors that make their lives more difficult, and come to me looking for support as they navigate challenges and imagine their futures.

I specialize in relational, trauma-focused practice, and LGBTQIA+ mental health. I use a blend of talk therapy and drama therapy to help people get in their bodies, play with things that feel stuck, and gain a fuller understanding of how their past shows up in their present.

I bring myself into my work, and challenge the idea that therapists inherently know more than their clients. You are the expert of your own life, I'm here so you're not alone in all that. If you are interested in learning more about how I could support you, please be in touch.

While I specialize in LGBTQIA mental health, I work with clients of all identities. I approach all my work from a trauma lens. I am curious about how your past impacts your day-to-day experience and current stressors. I challenge my clients to look at things in new ways, and find that a shifted perspective leads to a greater understanding of self and sense of power in one's life.

Sharon Quimbay Nolasco

Counselor, LMHC, 200RYT, R-DMT

Emily's approach to therapy is inimitable. Her ability to engage her clients in play, drama therapy, and DvT allow her to provide a unique environment for their transformation. Her clients are receiving one of a kind care!

Nicole Ventura

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, RDT

Emily superbly supports her clients in navigating their true selves. She brings herself fully to the work. She is less interested in being a "guide" and is more interested in being a supportive part of her client's journeys.

Zaira Owen Boylan

Counselor, LMHC, RDT

Emily is an empathetic and passionate individual who knows how to combine her own organized style with the freedom of drama and improvisation. She has helped me improve as a therapist and has been a guiding light as I move forward in my own practice.

Brayden Kendziora

Counselor, LMHC, REAT, LPC

Emily brings a warm, playful, and steady presence to her sessions, creating spaces where clients can safely express parts of themselves that might otherwise remain hidden. She meets each person with attunement, respect, and curiosity.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Drama Therapy
Expressive Arts
Integrative
Trauma Focused

While I am experienced in DBT and CBT techniques, I use an integrated approach that blends the cognitive experience with physical, emotional, and behavioral patterns. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model of therapy. Have questions about drama therapy or expressive arts? I would love to tell you more about how I use creativity and play in my work, get in touch!
