I'm Emily, and I'm passionate about working with kids, parents, and young adults who are navigating strong emotions, significant life changes, or just trying to better understand themselves. My clients often come in feeling overwhelmed: dealing with anxiety, depression, school stress, identity questions, or childhood trauma. I aim to provide a space where clients can be themselves, learn new ways to cope, and feel supported as they grow and process the hard parts of life.
Having a strong connection with your therapist is a huge predictor of success in therapy! Knowing this, I take a person-centered approach while pulling from evidence-based practices (such as ACT and CBT) to meet your needs in a way that feels conversational and natural. I specialize in childhood trauma, and am a rostered TF-CBT provider.
Starting therapy is a big step, and it’s okay if you’re feeling unsure. My goal is to offer a space that feels supportive and grounded, and where you feel comfortable showing up just as you are. In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s been going on and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

Many of my clients come into the initial session finding it difficult to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, navigate challenging life transitions, heal from childhood trauma, or wanting to gain a deeper sense of self. With nearly 4 years of experience working in a school-based setting, I also have a strong understanding of school-related issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are two modalities I often pull from in session. Therapy is certainly not a one-size-fits-all experience, so I take a person-centered approach and pull aspects of various treatment models to best meet your needs. I'm also a rostered TF-CBT provider, equipped to provide support to children and caregivers following a traumatic event.
