Hello there. My name is Emily and I primarily work with adolescents, young adults navigating their 20's "Quarterlife", & other adult populations. Those that I work with have been impacted by various forms of adversity, loss, long-term stress, and trauma. To be a bit more specific, I particularly enjoy working with populations of folks who are in need of learning how to set boundaries for themselves, are curious to learn more about how experiences in their families of origin impact their present-day experiences, have experienced grief from the loss of a loved one, and are going through a variety of life transitions and stressors.
Through the process of psychotherapy, I seek to create a genuine and secure bond and a warm space of respect, acceptance, and safety for you. In this environment, you can start the work of examining the ways that you have struggled in order to better understand your own experience and begin to promote healthy change in your daily life.
If you are searching for a therapist who will nonjudgmentally listen to & understand your story, who will help you put meaning to what has happened & to understand the ways your experiences have effected who you are & how you move through the world I may be a good fit for you. Give me a call or shoot me an email & let us begin your therapeutic journey today!

I'm particularly passionate about being able to work with those during foundational and transitionary periods of their lives (navigating high school, life post-grad, & early adulthood). Due to my deep emphasis on developing and strengthening the therapeutic relationship, many of my clients and I are able to work together through and apply knowledge learned to multiple foundational periods in life.
