Hi there! I'm Emilie. Do you struggle to cope with your emotions or regulate your impulses? I empower my clients to reach their full potential through a strength-based approach. I specialize in helping individuals ages 4-12 and 18+ with Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental differences. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, and a Certified Autplay Therapy Provider. I work to integrate my counseling and somatic psychotherapy background with the clients and families I serve. I look forward to meeting you! *I currently have daytime availability for adults, and I have a waitlist for evening spots for adults or children.*
During our initial session, I'll ask about your interests and the challenges you're currently facing. Together, we'll focus on ensuring your comfort and begin outlining achievable goals. The information gathered during the first session will help me gain a holistic view of your experiences and will help me create a personalized treatment plan. I utilize creative activities to help us connect, such as drawing, virtual activities, or games.
I consider my greatest strengths as a therapist to be compassion and commitment to a strength-based approach. I emphasize fostering trust within the therapeutic relationship, which my clients frequently acknowledge by expressing comfort and a sense of being understood during our sessions. This trust forms the foundation for clients to feel safe in taking risks to grow.
I am best positioned to support women as they navigate the challenges of everyday life. I specialize in supporting women navigating parenthood (including parenting children with big emotions and/or neurodivergence), ADHD, autism, anxiety, body image concerns, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. I also offer support to children aged 4-12 who are neurodivergent or are learning to manage anxiety and big emotions. Please note that I currently have a waitlist for after-school appointments and do not have any evening openings at this time. I invite you to reach out if you would like to learn more about how I can help!
Attachment-based
I integrate attachment styles into my therapeutic approach to assist individuals of all ages in cultivating positive and meaningful relationships. By exploring your attachment style, regardless of your age, we can uncover insights into interpersonal patterns and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This framework provides clarity and guidance for fostering personal growth and relational understanding.
Strength-Based
I employ a strength-based approach to establish personalized goals that capitalize on your existing strengths. By leveraging your strengths and interests, we enhance the effectiveness of familiar coping strategies that are uniquely tailored to you as an individual. This approach facilitates a more natural integration of strategies into your daily life, promoting sustainable growth and resilience.
Play Therapy
I utilize play therapy to assist children in navigating challenging emotions and situations in a manner that aligns with their developmental stage. Through play therapy, children gain a heightened sense of control and creativity both during sessions and in their daily lives. As a certified AutPlay Provider, specializing in play therapy tailored for individuals with ASD, I offer targeted interventions that promote emotional processing and growth in a supportive environment.
Somatic
I use somatic body-based strategies to help clients strengthen their mind-body connection. My dance/movement therapy training has deepened my passion for utilizing both talk therapy and somatic strategies to best support my clients.

She’s very patient, kind and she actually remembers the things that I tell her which I know isn’t easy because I’m sure she has way more clients than me, but it really makes me feel seen and heard that she remembers little details so I really appreciate that and I hope that she continues to bring smiles to the faces of her clients. Thanks for being you, Emilie, you rock! ❤️
