Hi, I'm Emily! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina. My approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, and I believe that healing starts with creating a space where you can show up as your full, unfiltered self. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, and my role is to help you tap into that inner wisdom in order to move toward positive change.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, my focus will be on building rapport and connection to ensure that you feel comfortable and understood. I believe that the foundation of a successful therapeutic relationship is trust, and it’s important that we both feel we’re a good fit for each other. During this initial session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your background, history, and current challenges, which will help me learn more about your unique experiences and perspective. We’ll also discuss your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve in our work together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I value authenticity, kindness, humor, and direct communication. I believe that the most meaningful growth happens when we feel safe to be ourselves, and I work hard to create an environment where you can feel seen, heard, and respected. I bring a kind and direct communication style to my therapeutic work. I believe that being clear and straightforward can be a powerful tool for growth. If something feels important or needs attention, I’ll address it with honesty, but always in a respectful and thoughtful way. This approach ensures that we can have productive and meaningful conversations that lead to real progress in your journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
