THERAPY FOR YOU

I believe that all clients have the capacity to arrive at their own solutions, yet sometimes, we may want some extra support and guidance. I view the therapeutic relationship as a space for you to safely explore your ever-evolving thoughts, values, emotions and relationships. My expertise in individual therapy lies in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, OCD symptoms, and/or relationship challenges with romantic partners, family members, friends or colleagues. Many of my clients present with concerns regarding boundaries, relational conflict & communication, familial wounds, perfectionism, relationship anxiety, identity development, self-image, and more.

​

I draw on various treatment modalities, such as systems theory, CBT, DBT, Exposure-Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Positive Psychology, and more. 

WALK AND TALK THERAPY

This service offers the unique opportunity to incorporate physical movement into the traditional individual talk therapy session. Walk and talk sessions take place at a local park and are 50 minutes in length.

THERAPY FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNER

I have extensive training and experience treating couples, and my couples work is largely informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based treatment modality, along with General Systems Theory. I have also completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Additionally, I am a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator, an assessment I use with premarital couples. 

I use an interactive, direct approach to help couples identify and disrupt unhelpful patterns of behavior and communication, ultimately transforming conflict and negativity into mutual respect and responsiveness. 

My areas of specialization in couples' work include: poor communication, high levels of conflict, affair recovery, improving trust, substance use, creating a deeper connection, and pre-marital counseling.

THERAPY FOR YOUR TEEN

Having worked with teens my entire career, it has become a special niche for me. I use a warm and non-judgmental approach (and lots of humor) to ease some of the discomfort that may come with speaking with a therapist. I want my teenage clients to feel empowered by the therapeutic relationship, and creating an open, trusting environment is a top priority. Most of Emily's teenage clients may struggle with relational conflict, boundaries, perfectionism, anxiety, or identity development.

THERAPY FOR YOUR FAMILY

As a systemic therapist, I have extensive background working with families. Some of the presenting concerns I have supported families in navigating are as follows: poor communication, low levels of trust, disconnection, blending families, parental separation, boundaries, substance use, family-building challenges and more.
