Using empathetic attunement, Emily helps her clients identify and alter the unconscious beliefs that contribute to their symptoms and challenges. Her clients achieve transformational, meaningful, and lasting change. They are able to enjoy their life more, gain greater self-trust, access compassion and develop radical self-love.

Emily meets with parents separately to support them with the complexities of being a parent.
