More About Emily
Career Path
My journey into psychotherapy has been deeply influenced by both personal and professional experiences. As a cisgender, bigger-bodied woman andADHDer, I have faced unique challenges that have shaped my empathetic and holistic approach to therapy. Being the eldest child in a neurodivergent and LGBT2SQ+ family has given me firsthand insight into the hardships and joys that accompany both mental health diagnoses and the process of embracing one’s true identity.
I developed a broad skill set through work in community mental health settings, and by staying engaged with continuing education to ensure I’m up-to-date on best practices. I value connecting with clients from diverse backgrounds, and I take pride in fostering a space where individuals feel comfortable expressing their authentic selves. My experiences with setting personal boundaries and building self-worth have informed my therapeutic work, allowing me to guide clients with compassion as they, too, navigate the complexities of life and relationships.
