Hello, I’m Emma (she/they)and I'm glad you're here! I love to support LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients, and those working through burnout, religious trauma, life transitions, and grief. I especially love working with highly masking neurodivergent folks who are ready to confront their burnout and live more authentically! My approach as a counselor is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and social justice. I hope to create a space where you don’t have to filter or shrink yourself—where we can explore what matters to you, dismantle what doesn’t, and help you feel more at home in your life and body.
My style is eclectic and anchored in self-exploration, cultural awareness, and self-compassion. I draw from frameworks like IFS, Feminist, and Existential Therapy that explore how our different parts intersect and how the world around us shapes our reality, values, and relationships. Therapy with me highlights authenticity, compassion, depth and laughter.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Lewis & Clark College. Outside of the therapy space, you’ll likely find me knitting on the couch with a cat (or two) in my lap, catching a local drag show, or finding a good walking spot around Portland.
