I’m Emily! I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who works with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and all the messy in-between moments. I keep therapy supportive and affirming, but also real and a little fun- we’ll talk honestly, notice patterns, and figure things out together in a way that actually feels like you. My approach is supportive and collaborative - we’re a team. I’m warm and non-judgmental, but I’ll also gently point out patterns that might be keeping you stuck.

Life can feel like a lot sometimes. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, stress is piling up, or you’re just feeling off but can’t put your finger on why. Big life changes, school or work pressure, relationship struggles, or everyday overwhelm can leave you drained, frustrated, or stuck. You might also feel consumed by thoughts about food or your body, stuck in rigid patterns, or constantly comparing yourself. Even if things feel mostly okay, therapy can be a place to sort through your thoughts, vent without judgment, and build tools to handle whatever life throws your way.

Making the choice to attend therapy is a wonderful first step, but it can also stir up a wide range of emotions. Therapy invites us into a space of vulnerability, which can feel intimidating as it may uncover feelings we may not yet feel ready to face. It offers an opportunity to explore thoughts and emotions that can be difficult to share with friends or family. At the same time, therapy can be deeply empowering—allowing you to set personal goals, discover your strengths, and witness your own growth.
I am here to help guide you on that journey.

Now seeing clients during EVENING and WEEKEND hours with some daytime openings. As a licensed psychologist I provide psychotherapy services to adults facing a wide array of difficulties.

Are you looking to free yourself from anxiety? Are you avoiding places, things, or situations because you might have a panic attack? Are obsessive thoughts and compulsions pulling you further and further away from enjoining your life? Anxiety seems to have a way of creating rules that people need to follow just to keep it all together. The problem is, the more we follow anxiety's rules, the more powerful it becomes. It can start to feel like your life has gotten smaller, more rigid, even less fun as the anxiety continues to grow. If you have found my page, then you are likely hoping to take your life back.

I created Through the Pavement to foster the deep healing work therapy can offer. Just like weeds defiantly growing through concrete, I believe that our innate and cultivated resiliency helps us survive and grow through tremendously difficult barriers. My expertise is in working with individuals who have experienced or are experiencing trauma related to their childhoods, relationships, and sexual harm. If you have or are experiencing harm related to these issues, please know that you are not broken and that healing is possible. I also specialize in supporting individuals through major life transitions, anxiety, and stress.

In serving clients who may be part of the Autistic, ADHD, LGBTQ+, and/or military communities, I've seen first hand that the diversity of human experience leads to ingenuity. I work to provide an accepting, supportive, and creative space for clients to communicate their story and discover their own path forward. Together, we can explore the narrative that defines the personal, professional, and social aspects of your life, navigating intersections between lived experiences and identities. I help you to see your patterns of success and both recognize and utilize the expertise you already hold within yourself.

Life brings both highs and lows, and during the harder seasons it can be difficult to ask for help. My ideal clients may be navigating stress, grief, identity challenges, or feeling “stuck” in cycles that no longer serve them. They want clarity, emotional relief, and a more fulfilling way of living. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you tap into your strengths, uncover your passions, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful. Together, we can work toward the balance, purpose, and personal growth you’re seeking.

Many adults begin looking for a therapist when their strategies for managing difficult thoughts, feelings, relationship patterns, and recurrent stressors are no longer working for them. Many parents begin looking for a therapist for their child or adolescent when they notice them struggling with the demands of school, peer relationships, managing strong emotions, or showing signs of low self-esteem.

My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should be collaborative, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and deeply human. I’m drawn to supporting folx carrying trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and the (often) accompanying executive functioning challenges that can leave us feeling stuck. These struggles are more complicated than simply ‘worrying too much,’ ‘feeling sad,’ or ‘not trying hard enough’: they can impact relationships, motivation, self-worth, routines, school, work, and the ability to feel present. I also identify as a lesbian and love supporting other LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity and queerness.
