Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy before, starting with someone new can feel intimidating! Emily works from a solution-oriented, strengths-based approach and incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients become more present and let go of troubling experiences. As a feminist woman of color, she knows that everyone’s lived experience is unique and strives to honor that in the work you’ll do together. She may be the therapist in the room, but you’re the expert on your own life!

Emily has worked with individuals and partnerships—romantic, platonic, and everything in between—through mood concerns, chronic and acute psychosis, relationship challenges, life transitions, chronic health conditions, and health behavior change. She’s especially passionate about supporting other healthcare professionals who need space to process the many challenges that arise in their personal and professional lives.

During her training, Emily became increasingly passionate about providing integrated care to those experiencing mental and physical health concerns. She gained an appreciation for working with people from diverse populations and witnessed how culture, systems, and barriers can impact a person’s ability to obtain care.

In session, you can expect honesty, warmth, and a little humor. Emily hopes to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, and will always show up as herself too. Many people find that one meeting is enough to get them going in the right direction, while others want to continue checking in. Regardless of what path is taken, Emily aims to have meaningful conversations focused on solutions that feel right for you.

Outside of work, Emily enjoys time with family and friends, gardening, painting, and reading. Her two dogs (who know how to maintain confidentiality) may pop into session as unofficial co-therapists! As an advocate for whole health care, she tries to maintain healthy habits and a balanced lifestyle (with varying degrees of success, depending on the week!).
