Welcome, my name is Emily! As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I bring extensive clinical experience supporting individuals of all ages with a wide range of mental health challenges, including substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, relationship issues, learning disabilities, neurological disabilities, developmental disorders, and mood disorders. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, seniors, couples, and families. Throughout my work, I have remained deeply committed to providing nonjudgmental, client-centered care that meets people where they are. My goal is always to empower clients to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with their inner resilience and purpose.
My clinical practice is grounded in a holistic perspective, supporting clients in healing not just the mind, but also the body and spirit. I integrate a variety of evidence-based and creative modalities to meet the needs of each client, including CBT, MI, Interpersonal Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy, and somatic-based approaches.
I am known for creating a warm, safe, and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal. My approach is personable yet professional, rooted in deep respect for each individual’s unique story, identity, and needs. I believe that authentic connection and trust are the foundation of meaningful growth and change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
