Emily is a limited licensed counselor.

Emily (Em) provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals living with chronic pain, and those who identify as neurodivergent.

Her clinical approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, managing emotional responses, and developing practical coping skills. For younger clients, she incorporates developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques to support emotional expression and behavioral growth in a way that feels natural and accessible.

She works from a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens, with a strong commitment to creating a safe, validating, and inclusive therapeutic environment. She recognizes that identity, physical health, and neurological differences can all impact mental health in unique ways—and she tailors treatment accordingly. Whether she and the client are working on managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, processing identity exploration, or building executive functioning skills, she collaborates closely with clients to set meaningful goals and track progress over time.

She welcomes clients of all backgrounds and am especially passionate about supporting those who have felt marginalized, misunderstood, or overlooked in traditional care settings. Her goal is to provide thoughtful, compassionate, and clinically sound support that helps each client move toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and well-being.
