Hi! I'm Emmin (they/them) and I provide mental health therapy and programs for youth 6+ and adults. I specialize in working at the intersection of queer & trans identities, neurodivergence, and experiences of interpersonal violence. In my work with clients, I center identity, expression, creativity, and empowerment to partner with clients to help them meet their goals. I have significant experience providing gender-affirming therapy to youth and adults, working with PDA youth and their families, and providing support to those with chronic health conditions.
I use an eclectic approach, specialized for each individual client including traditional and nontraditional modalities. Traditional modalities used include IFS, ACT, DBT, somatics, and attachment-based theories. Non-traditional modalities include interest-based interventions, art, movement, play, and storytelling.
In my work with teens and adults, I utilize a collaborative, trauma-aware approach that centers the unique identity, needs, and goals of each client. In my work with youth and families, I prioritize a youth-led approach, centering the autonomy of the young people I work with, while collaborating with families and care providers to meet their unique needs.
