Greetings, my name is Emily. Do you often find yourself struggling to keep up with the many demands of life, feeling pulled in multiple directions with no room to breathe? Do you struggle to maintain healthy relationships, work-life balance, and self-compassion? As a telehealth psychotherapist, I specialize in helping high achievers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working in your life and bring you back to a state of balance. I take a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness, metaphor, and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to support you. I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, but it's a courageous step towards healing and growth. In our sessions, I'll offer a compassionate space and evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the obstacles and habits holding you back. Let's work together to create a happier, healthier you.

Welcome to your journey towards well-being. In our initial session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive atmosphere as we begin our collaborative work together. **Getting Acquainted:** I'll start by introducing myself, sharing my background, and explaining how I approach therapy.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

I help people who are struggling with intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt. A person may have an emotional disorder when his or her emotions are so overwhelming that they get in the way of moving forward in life. Although emotions affect our lives in different ways, there are three features that often occur across emotional disorders. These are (a) frequent, strong emotions; (b) negative reactions to emotions; and (c) avoidance of emotions. The goal of the method I use is to change the way that people with emotional disorders respond to their emotions when they occur.
