Through a holistic and integrative approach I support individuals and families to navigate the unique challenges that life has unfolded for them. Whether our work takes place in my office or out in nature, I help my clients identify, cultivate and nourish their strengths and resources. Through our work my clients deepen their connection to themselves, others and the natural world. As these connections grow I support my clients to uncover limiting patterns that inhibit their relationships, creativity and happiness so they can nourish new ways of moving and relating in the world that support authenticity, ease, and joy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or stuck in old patterns that are no longer serving you? Navigating life’s challenges can be stressful, especially if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or issues related to past trauma. You do not have to figure it out alone! I believe authentic human connection is one of the most powerful resources available to us and that true healing happens within the context of our relationships. I am passionate about working with people to help them discover potential and make positive changes that will help them have better relationships and lead more fulfilling lives.

Our minds can make us better or they can create tremendous problems. Can you use your mind to reduce your suffering, rather than increase it? Or to increase meaning and depth in your life? Sometimes a sympathetic family member or wise friend can help a great deal; other times a knowledgeable, compassionate professional is a better choice. Perhaps your internal life feels out of control, or you're feeling stuck, repeating ineffective patterns of relating to yourself and others. I work with people to help them understand themselves and their situation, manage stress better, and make positive changes happen.

I am currently accepting new clients with openings for in-person or virtual sessions Tuesday-Friday (morning, afternoon, and evenings)
I work with teens (13+), young adults, couples, and families who are dealing with conflict, disconnection, big emotions, or communication that keeps breaking down. My clients often come to me when things feel intense — when arguments escalate quickly, someone shuts down, or everyone is walking on eggshells. Therapy with me is direct, warm, and very active. I don’t just sit and nod; I help you understand the patterns happening in real time and give you practical tools that actually fit your life. Many people I work with have tried therapy before and say this feels different — more engaging, more honest, and more useful.

I offer therapy & evaluation (testing) services for those 18+. Clients don't come to me because they are happy. They come, most likely, because they are in pain and hurt. They are tired of feeling stuck, and the fear, tears, and whatever seems to be causing them all. They aren’t interested in therapy because they want therapy. In fact, they are not even sure IF they want therapy—but they ARE sure they want to get unstuck and feel better. So, for you: here you are. . . not all that sure that this is going to help but damn sure you want to do something that might make a positive change and get your life moving forward again.

I offer in-person therapy in Charlottesville and virtual therapy in VA
You’re used to being the one who keeps going, figures things out, and holds things together for everyone else — even when, internally, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Many of the people I work with experience high-functioning anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or patterns that no longer seem to work the way they once did. These struggles often become more noticeable during life transitions, parenting, college or graduate school stress, or periods of increased pressure.

I see clients virtually in VA, CO, and NC and I see in-person clients in Roanoke, VA.
I work with people who are tired of talking about it. They've done the work. They know their patterns, they can trace them back, and something is still stuck.
That's usually when people find me. I'm Emily, a therapist, yoga teacher, and owner of Big Oak Wellness in Roanoke, Virginia. Most of what keeps us stuck isn't in our heads, it's in the body. Nervous system responses we developed long before we had the words for what was happening to us. Understanding it doesn't undo it. We have to actually feel it to move it.

I offer sessions in person, on the phone or via video, and am available most weekdays until 5:00pm.
Being a psychotherapist means being available to you in a way that is different to other forms of human relatedness. It means I listen to the painful events and relationships troubling you in your life and open a conversation about them between us. This conversation is private and confidential, yet allows for the most honest and accessible way to both explore and understand your reactions and feelings. Although the foundation of my knowledge lies in the psychoanalytic tradition, I incorporate contemporary knowledge and methods that have developed since Sigmund Freud's first discoveries at the end of the 19th century.

I am available in the Shenandoah Valley for in-person sessions or across Virginia via telehealth.
The secret ingredient to healing relationship trauma is not what you think... Relationship trauma ruptures our sense of self, making us doubt our thoughts, question our actions, and dismiss our emotions. Slowly, we begin to betray ourselves. What you truly long for is to feel safe in your body, connected in your relationships, and inspired in your life. SELF-TRUST is the key to healing. As the only PhD Certified Trauma Counselor in the Shenandoah Valley, I will guide you in breaking these cycles, rebuilding self-trust, enriching safe relationship intimacy, and finally attaining Post-Traumatic Growth.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
