I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California's Bay Area. I believe in a holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual), culturally sensitive, person centered approach to therapy.

Being a mixed-race woman born and raised in a multicultural family and community, I place a high value and appreciation for working with a diverse client population.

I have a great interest and passion in perinatal/ postnatal work as well as life transitions, grief and loss and caregiver support (whether caregiving for a child, spouse, parent or family member). I integrate inner strength, stress management, self-care, physical health and many other aspects of wellness into sessions. I strive to provide an authentic and non- judgmental environment that can be humorous and fun, as well as vulnerable and challenging. Being a mixed-race woman born and raised in a multicultural family and community, I place a high value and appreciation for working with a diverse client population. I am very intentional about creating a safe and welcoming therapeutic relationship and I believe that this is essential for change and growth when engaging in therapy. I am humbled to begin working with you.

First session

I am a very relationship based type therapist. I meet you where you are while also asking you questions and being curious about your life so that we can ensure that we set goals that are obtainable.

Strengths

I am non judgmental, personable, empathetic and dedicated to help you reach your goals.

Ideal clients

I work with a diverse set of people, I'm happy to get to know who YOU are and help you get further towards your goals.

Treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I meet you where you are at in life and we go from there, no judgment. I accept your past and appreciate your hopes and dreams for your future.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Your thoughts are deeply connected to your feelings and behaviors, we will explore the roots of your core beliefs and whether or not they are benefitting you in your current life. We will explore thought patterns and identify the effects they have on your daily life.

Attachment-based

We will explore past attachment patterns and work to build a secure therapeutic relationship, this can help us heal from past trauma and develop healthier relationships.

I just met Emily today. She was very easy to talk to and supportive. I have met with other therapists and left those meetings feeling lower than when I started. With Emily I left the session feeling lighter.

Emily listened in our first meeting and what was great is she determined that our skills and needs didn't align so she referred me to others.

Emily is my second chance with therapy. I feel safe and have had progress I never thought I could do alone or even with help. She is very meticulous and intentional which I appreciate.
