Do you feel out of sorts, or do you feel like things are not the way that you would like them to be? If so, you and I will figure out these struggles together. I promise to never tell you what to do or make decisions for you, but I can be a catalyst in helping you explore different options to help you feel the way that would like to. In my practice, I specialize in the following areas, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and transgendered (LGBTQ) issues, relationship struggles, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, and the impact of past experience, previous relationships, and the parent child relationship. While working with these struggles, I am eclectic in the utilization of evidenced based practices as I tailor my approach to your individual needs, snd I utilize the following approaches, cognitive behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapies, trauma focused therapies, attachment based therapy, attachment based family therapy, solution focused therapy, systems family therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

I have over a decade of experience providing solution focused therapy as well as crisis management and serving people with post traumatic stress disorder. I use cognitive behavioral therapy as well as person centered therapy to help guide people to their goals and their true authentic self. My greatest passion is helping people accept themselves and find their true authentic self. I am kink aware, polyamory friendly, and LGBTQIA affirming.

I have a sincere passion for working with individuals impacted by addiction, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustments to major life changes/events, relationship issues, codependency, family of origin trauma, and various other complex trauma. I want to help you be the best you can be and find self-empowerment in your therapy journey. Through mindful processing and awareness building, I will help you build a foundation for healing as we carefully identify the not so great parts of your life and then pair curated and evidence based real life skills and solutions to problematic behaviors, thoughts/feelings, and experiences.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in community mental health clinic settings and intensive fieldwork. Since 2016, I have had experience in assisting those who struggle with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, racial/ethnic identity, and LGBTQIA2S+ issues. I use an integrative approach to therapy to care for individuals who have had to "be strong" for too long.

Hi, I'm Emily. Something brought you to this website in search of a therapist or counselor. Maybe it was a single event or problem, like a loss of a loved one or a sudden change in job status. Or maybe you've been struggling with a multitude of stressors and are feeling burned out, anxious, depressed, disconnected, and fatigued. What would your life be like if you no longer experienced these issues? How do you get to that point? These questions are the foundation of my therapeutic approach, which is goal-oriented, solution-focused, and personalized to you as an individual. Your goals are unique to you, so it takes a unique approach in order to help you reach them. Together, we will identify your goals, the barriers you face, and how to overcome them to get to where you want to be. Our past and current interpersonal relationships influence our own mental health status and are often the source of past trauma. I focus on building interpersonal skills such as conflict resolution, communication, and identification of healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics to help heal trauma, and build a solid personal and professional support system to use long after our work together is completed. Since interpersonal relationships are so important to us as social creatures, the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is key to healing. Not every therapist works for every client. If, during our work together, you feel that this relationship is not a good fit for you, I am here to help you find someone who is. Please note that I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.

My journey towards becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist began in 2004 when I received my B.A. in Theater from Southern Connecticut State University. Knowing it was my passion to creatively help others, I began teaching children in diverse settings including preschools, elementary schools, community centers, homes, and camps. I was introduced to Drama Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy as an Early Childhood Educator and never looked back! As I continued working with children, families, and parents of all backgrounds over the years, I found myself becoming more intrigued with their social/emotional dynamics as opposed to the academics of the profession. My realization led me to The Chicago School of Professional Psychology where I pursued my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Marital and Family Therapy. Since then, I’ve had many incredible opportunities to gain experience through the roles of a School Counselor, Program Therapist, Private Practice Owner, and Group Therapist. Through these experiences, I've grown immensely as a therapist by expanding the populations I work with and the specialties I’m able to offer.
