Hello, from Mrs. Emily, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I strive to create a heartfelt and connected environment where you can feel free to share your challenges without judgement. I am passionate to help children, their parents, and young adults overcome challenges they are enduring. I’m a strong believer in hope and resilience of the human soul. Healing can occur if you are believed in, joined with on your journey, and empowered to make healthy changes.
My experience ranges from Wilderness Therapy working with teens to being an Early Childhood Consultant in the Pacific Northwest. I utilize a variety of evidenced based practices helping to improve overall functioning and I have a proven track record of building genuine rapport and empowering families to make healthy changes.
From Parents: “At our first visit with Emily, I could already tell we were going to make great strides.” “Our son has come so far in the last months, but more than that, I’ve come so far! My husband and I have the tools needed to practice/improve our parenting skills.” We look forward to meeting you and achieving your goals!
