Professional statement

Healing emotional wounds is a deep, gradual process. When you work with Emily, she will collaborate with you to set goals and take small, realistic steps to bring your shadows into the light. She’ll let you lead the conversation, but since Emily is naturally curious, expect her to ask a lot of questions along the way.

Emily begins each session by exploring the issues you’re addressing. If you’re processing negative experiences or emotional pain, she will use grounding exercises to help you sit with your feelings, make sense of them, and bring you back to the present moment. Over time, you’ll build skills to face your challenges with new strength and insights in your day-to-day life.

Emotional pain is part of life. Emily helps clients create healthy coping mechanisms for when the going gets tough. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of Emily’s practice because of its ability to redirect dark or challenging thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

Message to clients

Is there anything you’d change about your life? Why would that change matter to you?

Asking questions is powerful. Questions spur self-exploration and allow you to see situations from a different perspective. By bringing curiosity into sessions, I guide clients towards happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

The truth is, we all suffer. The difference between surviving and thriving is how we find ways to cope, stay present even when it's hard, and push back against unhelpful thoughts. To get there, we’ll address the underlying causes and set concrete, attainable goals to face these challenges. Together, we’ll find solutions to feeling more connected.
