Welcome. I'm letting you know that the emotion, emptiness, noise, or pain doesn’t need to be this extreme. It is possible to feel other ways.

You’ve been holding it together for everyone else — but lately you’ve been wondering, “What about me?”
You’re the dependable one, the caretaker, the person people lean on. From the outside, it looks like you’re managing. Inside, you might feel tired, overwhelmed, or a little lost from the life you hoped would feel better than this.
In a world that feels louder, faster, and more uncertain than ever, it makes sense to feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re navigating burnout, cultural or family expectations, or a season of life that just feels… off, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I've worked with and loved learning about clients from many different backgrounds and walks of life, as well as helping my clients learn about themselves and their own needs. Many of my clients are neurodivergent or LGBTQ+, and struggle with motivation, communication, and the effort of being human in a stressful and sometimes unfriendly world. Some are goal-focused, while others just need someone to help untangle complex thoughts so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I work best with individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck—whether in relationships, parenting, or life transitions. Many come in overwhelmed, frustrated, or tired of repeating the same patterns. I help clients slow things down, understand what’s really driving their thoughts and behaviors, and build practical tools to create healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and more stable relationships.

I have immediate morning availability on Weds and afternoon on Thurs. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD and trauma, helping clients create practical, sustainable systems to manage executive functioning challenges and move forward with greater ease and confidence. As someone who lives with ADHD myself, I understand how exhausting it can feel to constantly push against your own brain to get things done.
I am also trained in EMDR therapy, which aids clients in reprocessing traumatic experiences and negative beliefs. Trauma looks different for everyone, and no matter what the experience was, your response to it is valid.

Hi I'm Emily. I am a somatic grief and trauma Therapist. You may have recently lost someone important to you, or maybe you’ve been carrying grief for a long time and feel overwhelmed by it. If the loss was sudden, unexpected, or traumatic, you might be experiencing anxiety, numbness, intrusive memories, dissociation, and suicidal thoughts. You may feel that talking alone hasn’t been enough and want a more somatic, body-based approach to healing. If you’re looking for compassionate support that honors your pace, won't tell you to move on, and helps you find steadiness, meaning, and moments of peace again we may be a good fit.

I'm a dually-licensed counselor with seven years of experience in addiction and mental health counseling. I specialize in treating substance use disorders, behavioral addictions such as gambling and porn addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. My favorite clients to work with are those impacted by addiction in someone close to them. I also enjoy working with sexual wellness, especially in recovering from purity culture, and strive to create a sex-positive safe space for clients to explore their identities and interpersonal relationship dynamics.

The healing process of therapy requires vulnerability and the uncovering of intense and difficult emotions. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals who are looking to begin or continue their personal journeys of healing. Are you feeling stuck due to difficult or traumatic past experiences? Do you have trouble understanding or feeling in control of your emotions? Or maybe you are looking to build a better understanding of why you are the way you are! During the therapeutic process, my goal is to help my clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

Limited Openings - With extensive background and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Hoarding, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, anxiety, and depression. I began working with OCD during my first clinical experience in graduate school and have focused my work on OC Spectrum Disorders ever since. There are many other opportunities that my clinical experiences have made possible – presenting conferences, collaborating with Hoarding Task Forces and regional organizations, and supporting communities. I view life as an on-going path of development and learning.

You may be reaching a point where old roles no longer fit—scapegoat, caretaker, emotional stabilizer, or “the strong one.” What follows can feel disorienting: grief, anger, relief, and a growing refusal to contort yourself for systems that relied on your silence. I work with adults who are ready to step out of survival roles and into sovereignty—people who want to understand how they adapted, not stay stuck retelling what hurt. Many of my clients are navigating estrangement, complex trauma, identity shifts, or the consequences of choosing themselves for the first time.

People seek out therapy for all sorts of reasons – depression, anxiety, grief, purpose, loneliness, support – and therapy can help address all of them. Given the uniqueness of the therapy relationship, finding a good match is a vital step in making the most out of your self-investment. We may be a good fit if you are looking for assistance with anxiety, depression, substance use, anger and abuse, and/or trauma, and if you want to approach your growth through curiosity, humor, and purpose. Therapy does not have to always be a somber or serious affair; it can also be fun, exciting, and deeply rewarding.

We are dedicated to walking alongside clients from all backgrounds who are struggling with the burden of trauma, particularly those traumas which stem from broken relationships, betrayal, neglect, sexual or behavioral addictions, and abuse in its many forms. These can wreak havoc on one's own life, and leave a wake of pain and betrayal in the lives of those who are connected with them. If you relate to this chaos, we are very aware of the shame, pain and confusion you feel. If you are the partner or family member of someone weighed down with this trauma, we understand your despair, confusion, and anger, too.

I am passionate about helping people feel at home in their own skin and reclaiming what you feel trauma, depression, anxiety, or the challenges of regular old life might have taken from you. The approaches I use do not require the retelling/re-experiencing of trauma to bring transformation. We will work gently, curiously, and creatively with your unique nervous system, highlighting where you feel joy, pleasure, and strength. In this process your natural inner resilience, compassion and wisdom will become more available to support you through whatever life brings. Clients often describe the process as feeling like magic!
