About Emily

Background and approach

She draws on a background in cognitive-behavioral ideas and person-centered principles to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity and LGBT concerns, family conflict, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Her style centers on collaboration and respect, inviting clients to co-create goals and strategies that fit their values and everyday realities.

Emily frames change as a team effort, guiding clients through life transitions and problem-solving while adapting methods to the unique needs of each person.

Approaches that guide online work and practical care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client's own expertise about their life, helping build a trusting space where personal goals can be clarified and pursued. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps toward specific goals, making it useful for people who want practical progress in a shorter timeframe.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques as the work progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the client move forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling consistent access to a licensed professional despite busy schedules or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care and adapting the format to what feels most comfortable for the client.
