Hi there - I'm Emily and I'm honored to be part of your journey towards personal growth. To me, healing is a holistic experience where we focus on humanizing ourselves as opposed to problematizing our thoughts and patterns. In session, I attempt to hold space for clients through creating a safe and inviting environment where you feel heard, valued, and understood. I strive to assist clients in building unconditional love for oneself, regardless of how they show up at any moment, on any day. Whether you are experiencing life transitions, relationship challenges, or just need to be heard, I'm here to listen and support you.
While I believe each approach will vary based on client needs, I employ a variety of methods including mind/body techniques, existentialism, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed approaches. Outside of modalities, I believe that understanding the concepts of how society shapes and influences us is a major part toward healing and growth. I strive to provide inclusive Queer affirming care within a feminist lens in order to keep equality centric to my approach.
Everything about the therapeutic experience centers around the client and building a safe and validating space. My goal is not just to help you cope but to empower you to thrive in all aspects of your life.
Outside of the practice, I am often enjoying a good book and coffee on the couch with my partner as our two cats attempt to push us off.
