Welcome! I’m Emily. I am a licensed psychotherapist working in the Sacramento area. My therapy practice welcomes children, adolescents, adults, and families. I operate from the framework that through our shared humanity, we can find connection, understanding, and healing. As a humanistic and psychodynamic therapist, my practice emphasizes genuineness, self-discovery, and uncovering unconscious behaviors and patterns within a non-judgmental and empathic space
Our first session (and most subsequent sessions) is all about getting to know each other. I prefer a less structured and more authentic approach to first discussions. I will answer any questions you have about counseling and explain policies and procedures. I am most interested in what you are looking for and how I can potentially support you in your journey!
Clients have expressed that they appreciate my realness and my ability to create a space that is supportive and nonjudgmental. I believe in meeting the client wherever they are in their journey and will be responsive to whatever they bring into the therapy room.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
As a Rogerian therapist I believe healing comes from authenticity, empathy, and connection. I use Rogerian techniques with clients with growing their understanding of themselves and self-compassion.
Trauma Informed Care
Understanding our history with traumatic experiences is essential to effective and responsive care. Only through understanding these connections can we disrupt maladaptive patterns and heal old wounds that continue to effect our lives.
Narrative
The stories that we tell ourselves shape our perspective. However, have the power to make meaning of our experiences and author our stories. With safety, reflection, and exploration, together we create our own stories about ourselves and life experiences.

I talked a lot but Emily was super understanding and a great listener! I really think that we will work well and I always appreciate someone who can hear me ramble on and on.

I feel so much lighter after even one session with Emily. She assured me in ways that made me feel super comfortable and warm.
