Hi! I'm Emily, and I specialize in working with queer, and neurodivergent teens and young adults. I am a runner, a new-ish parent to two littles, and a gummy worm enthusiast. I am a white, plus-size ADHD-er, and I like She/Her pronouns. Counseling can be intimidating, awkward, and weird - I've found that leaning into that and exploring the ways to meet sensory needs (and other needs) to be supportive for the clients I work with. For in-person sessions I have fidgets on hand, non-verbal tools to use as needed (like art), chocolate (if it hasn't been eaten), different lighting options, background music/noise, and water ready to go.
I specialize in working with ADHD-ers, Autistic individuals, people that struggle with dissociation, and other Neurodivergent Folx. I have many supports that will hopefully make my space more cozy and comfortable. Messes are welcome! I have sand trays, whiteboards, meme cards, and/or art supplies, to find the path that will get you to where you want to be.
It can be tough to reach out and make these kinds of calls to find a counselor that is a good fit. I'm happy to communicate in whatever way feels easiest for you (email, text, scheduling through my website, or calls).

Welcome to my fellow ADHD-ers and other Neurodivergent folx! Counseling sessions with me will include rabbit holes, tangents, and jokes. It is okay to be yourself in this space including stimming, fidgeting, pacing around, eating, candy/chocolate, etc. You are already doing the hard emotional work in the session, let's not make it miserable while you do so!

My main therapy approach in counseling is rooted in Gestalt Theory. The way that you'll see that in sessions is when I will pull in expressive arts, sandtray, bibliotherapy, or writing therapies. I will typically default to talk therapy unless another method is requested, or I have an activity idea in session to suggest. I'm always happy to defer to the method most comfortable for my client.
