In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing as well as the goals you would like to have. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. It is important that you feel comfortable with me as your therapist as this process is a personal journey.
In Emily's presence, you'll find an understanding, non-judgmental ally who is dedicated to your journey towards mental and emotional health. With her guidance, you can reclaim your life, heal past wounds, and foster healthy relationships. Together, you can work towards a healthier, happier you—a process Emily finds incredibly rewarding and is honored to be a part of. With Emily's empathetic support and clinical acumen, not only will you navigate your current struggles, but also develop the skills necessary to confront whatever challenges life may throw your way.
However, what sets Emily apart is her warm, compassionate personality. She truly understands the courage it takes for you to seek help and is committed to creating a safe space where you feel heard and valued. Emily is committed not only to helping you understand the 'whys' behind your behavior but also equipping you with the 'hows' to change them.
At the core of Emily's approach is the desire to help her clients develop healthy ways of managing life's challenges. She focuses on empowering individuals to create robust coping strategies to combat anxiety and depression, overcome addiction, and improve their sleep hygiene. Emily's evidence-based approach incorporates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to stamp out barriers to emotional well-being.
I utilize CBT to address anxiety, depression and substance use disorder.
