Find Freedom Within.
I became a therapist because I wanted to help women like me. Let me rewind real quick:
When I was in my teens and 20s I struggled with never feeling good enough. I felt anxious and uncertain most of the time. I had a general feeling of being unworthy of love and happiness. I used drugs and alcohol to escape these painful feelings and go numb. I found myself in toxic or dead-end relationships. I settled because I didn’t believe I was good enough or that I deserved better. Deep down, I knew something needed to change but I was repeating the same cycle for years.
When I became pregnant and had my daughter in my late 20s, it was a turning point for me. She became my priority and I wanted to be the best I could be. I became a “self-improvement junkie.”
I took self-help courses and seminars. I did cleanses, retreats, and yoga. If it was “transformational” I did it.
But none of this helped me deep down to my core. It was a temporary fix that faded. No matter what I did I just couldn’t get rid of that sense that I wasn’t good enough.
It wasn’t until I discovered a new therapy technique that my whole experience of myself shifted.
I couldn’t believe how effective it was. It was as if a weight was lifted from me. Best of all, I could finally talk about things that had hurt me in the past and not burst into tears. For example, the broken relationship with my biological father and other heartaches.
I can now say I am confidently living my best life because I discovered this powerful technique. I want to help other women who feel like they’re not good enough to ditch the self-help books. I know we can all feel confident and deserving of love.
I offer telehealth (online) sessions through a confidential portal so you can meet from the comfort of your own home.
The saying "you hold your issues in your tissues" refers to the psychosomatic component of wellness and healing. Trauma and anxiety is often stored in the body and can be alleviated through a somatic approach. I am equipped to assist you in addressing physical and psychological symptoms through yoga techniques and other evidence- based bodywork. Yoga and meditation modalities may be integrated into your treatment plan.
Emily provides a space for our darkest traumas to be healed. EMDR is a powerful and effective healing modality that permits the brain to release the grip of a painful memory that affects your feeling of self. Emily provides guidance as you take the journey within to process and release the deeply buried boxes of the past. The outcomes of altering a triggering memory go far past the session and had me feeling lighter and more myself than before.

I reached out to Emily during an extremely difficult time in my life. I was experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety that I could not get control of. She suggested EMDR could help. The day after my first session, I had some immediate relief and my symptoms began to quiet. I continued to process and heal for days after that. It uncovered and helped me process past trauma that I didn’t realize was affecting me so deeply. It really changed my life and I am so grateful. Emily’s compassion and understanding sets the perfect environment to feel safe while being vulnerable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I came to Emily absolutely broken and confused over an issue that was tormenting me and interfering with my quality of life. Between her EMDR and talk therapy techniques, I was not only able to resolve the issue, but have gained tremendous insight about myself. Emily has been absolutely instrumental in helping me gain a new sense of happiness and freedom that I have never experienced before in my life.
