Hi, I’m Emily, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of EverFidelis Counseling & Consulting. I specialize in supporting individuals, parents, and caregivers who are navigating big transitions—whether that’s processing grief, adjusting to a new diagnosis, managing burnout, or untangling generational patterns that no longer serve them. With a trauma-informed lens and deep compassion for the full human experience, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly heard. My practice is rooted in approaches like CBT, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and strengths-based care. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one where you get to reclaim your story, build on your existing strengths, and move toward the version of yourself you’re becoming. As someone who has worked across hospice, schools, behavioral health, and family systems, I know that healing looks different for everyone. My goal is to walk alongside you—faithfully and thoughtfully—as you find clarity, stability, and hope in your journey.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, my goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can begin to feel comfortable and seen. We’ll take time to talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to gain from the process, and any immediate concerns or stressors you’re navigating. You don’t need to have the “perfect words” or a fully formed plan—just come as you are. I’ll ask some guiding questions to better understand your story, your strengths, and your current challenges, and we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. This session is also a chance for you to get a feel for how I work. I want you to feel empowered, supported, and in control of your healing journey from the very start. Together, we’ll begin laying the groundwork for a relationship built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to your growth.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is the way I blend evidence-based methods with deeply human, relational care. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and Motivational Interviewing—but I always tailor our work to what feels most supportive and sustainable for you. Clients often share that they feel safe, seen, and empowered in our sessions—like they don’t have to carry everything alone. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I take time to truly understand your story, your patterns, and your values, so we can work together to create meaningful, lasting change. Whether we’re navigating parenting challenges, life transitions, grief, or burnout, I focus on helping you reconnect with your own inner strength and clarity. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in helping you move forward—not just by managing symptoms, but by building a life that feels more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support individuals who are navigating transitions and carrying more than they let on—parents, caregivers, and helping professionals who often feel overwhelmed, unheard, or stuck between caring for others and trying to care for themselves. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, unsure where to begin, or afraid to take up space with their own needs. I work well with people who are navigating grief, anxiety, parenting stress, identity shifts, or the emotional impact of a new diagnosis—whether for themselves or a loved one. I also support those exploring generational trauma or trying to break long-standing patterns in relationships, caregiving, or family dynamics. My ideal clients are thoughtful, open to reflection, and may just need a safe place to land—to feel seen, supported, and empowered as they make sense of their story. Whether you’re in a season of survival or searching for sustainable healing, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a foundational part of my therapeutic work. With training and experience applying CBT in a variety of clinical settings—including school-based support, hospice care, and outpatient therapy—I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be in helping clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. In my practice, I use CBT in a compassionate and collaborative way. Whether we’re working through anxiety, parenting stress, grief, or life transitions, I guide clients in recognizing how their thoughts influence their feelings and behaviors. Together, we explore strategies to reframe those thoughts and develop more effective coping skills. CBT in my sessions is not just structured—it’s supportive. I integrate it with a client-centered approach, ensuring clients feel empowered, seen, and capable of lasting change.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a key approach I use to support clients in navigating ambivalence and building meaningful change. With training in MI and practical experience across diverse settings—including behavioral health, school-based services, and hospice—I’ve seen how powerful it can be in helping clients reconnect with their own inner motivation. In my practice, MI is woven into conversations with warmth, curiosity, and non-judgment. I help clients explore their values, clarify their goals, and gently work through the barriers that may be holding them back. Whether they’re navigating parenting stress, lifestyle changes, or emotional overwhelm, MI allows space for autonomy, trust, and self-discovery. My role is never to push—it’s to walk alongside, ask the right questions, and help clients uncover their own reasons for change, at their own pace.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is an essential part of the supportive space I aim to create in my work with clients. With experience integrating mindfulness across settings—from schools to end-of-life care—I use this approach to help individuals slow down, reconnect with the present, and manage overwhelm with greater self-compassion. In session, mindfulness may look like grounding techniques, breathwork, or simply creating intentional pauses to check in with the body and emotions. I use these tools to support clients navigating anxiety, burnout, parenting stress, or life transitions—especially when they feel stuck or emotionally flooded. Mindfulness in my practice isn’t about “clearing the mind” or pushing through pain. It’s about building awareness, noticing without judgment, and learning to respond (rather than react) to life’s challenges. It’s gentle, empowering, and always adapted to meet you where you are.
Narrative
Narrative Therapy is at the heart of how I help clients reclaim their voice and reshape their story. With deep roots in trauma-informed care and experience across school-based, hospice, and family systems work, I use this approach to help individuals explore how their personal stories have been shaped—by life events, relationships, systems, and societal expectations. In our work together, I support clients in separating themselves from the problems they face, identifying the strengths and values that have carried them, and reauthoring narratives that feel more aligned with who they are becoming. Whether navigating identity shifts, grief, parenting challenges, or generational wounds, Narrative Therapy creates space for clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered. I believe your story matters—and that healing often begins when you feel safe enough to tell it, rewrite it, and live it with intention.
Strength-Based
A Strengths-Based approach guides everything I do as a therapist. Whether I’m supporting parents, caregivers, or individuals navigating major life transitions, I believe that each client already holds resilience, insight, and untapped potential within them. With experience across settings—including schools, hospice, behavioral health, and family systems—I’ve seen the transformative power of helping clients shift their focus from what’s “wrong” to what’s strong. This approach helps clients build confidence, make empowered decisions, and reconnect with their values, especially during seasons of uncertainty or overwhelm. In our work together, I’ll reflect your strengths back to you, even when you’re struggling to see them yourself. Because healing isn’t just about fixing pain—it’s about rediscovering the parts of you that have been steady, capable, and courageous all along.
