Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Emily, I am a therapist that specializes in trauma, addiction, and healing work. I aim to be a place of safety, guidance, and support for anyone who is seeking to experience more joy and connection in life. As an interracial adoptee and body of culture myself, I recognize the extreme harm that systemic racism has on communities and bodies of color/culture. I believe in communal healing.

I recognize the strength and courage it takes in coming to therapy. I am passionate about offering a safe space to feel vulnerable and comfortable. I believe the relationship between the client and therapist is an essential component to therapy, so I greatly value the importance of comfortability, openness, and safety in the therapy room. I typically operate from a strengths based perspective, believing that therapy should not only focus on the client's presenting problems, but highlight their strengths as well.

It can feel overwhelming navigating our daily lives while also dealing with stress and trauma. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to work through whatever difficulties and challenges we find present in our lives. As we begin to release the weight and pain we have been carrying with us for so long, we open up to new ideas and possibilities. Ultimately we can move towards a life with more resilience and hope.

I have a passion for working with those that have experienced trauma and walking alongside them on their mental health journey. Whether you've experienced that in a past relationship, significant event, childhood, or other circumstances, I'm here to support your healing process and helping you reach a place where you no longer need to carry the weight of it. I have learned to navigate and manage my own ADHD over time, and I particularly love working with others who are facing similar challenges.
