A Message From Emily

“You are more than what you’re enduring. All your pain is just a hero forming”- Citizen Soldier, rock band. Sometimes in life we can go through difficult times that can lead to tremendous pain. This pain may show up early on, or manifest later in ways that we do not realize. When this happens we do whatever we can to make sense of the hardships, the pain, and the changes that take place as a result, both positive and negative. I am here to help you through it all; understanding the past, living in the present, and preparing for the future. I offer a nonjudgmental listening ear and want you to feel comfortable to come as you are and be your most authentic self.


When you are with me, you are in control; I am guiding the ship, but you are the one steering. Together we will navigate the complications and complexities of grief and trauma. To do this I use psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and my personal favorite, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR). We will work on learning about grief and trauma, develop coping skills to manage symptoms, and reprocess the painful events while dismantling the negative core belief attached to them.


I am a certified grief therapist and a certified EMDR therapist who brings almost a decade of experience in this field. I have worked in a multitude of settings with people from all walks of life. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey to self-love and inner healing."
