“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.” —Cheryl Strayed
*Emily is not currently accepting new clients.
Emily understands counseling as growth, much in the same way a tree grows. In counseling we honor our roots, noting where we came from, while stretching our branches high and reaching for what we wish to become.
As a LPC, Emily believes that counseling should provide you with knowledge and tools to empower and enrich your life. As a Folklorist with a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, she understands the power of collaborative process and narrative with its ability to enact positive change in life. Emily’s goal as your co-collaborator in the healing process is to create the safest space possible for you to be your most true self, so that you may work from a place of healing. To accomplish this, she will provide a non-judgmental space for you to explore and process feelings, thoughts, images, and/or beliefs.
Emily is eclectic in her approach to counseling because she understands that no single approach is right for every individual. Often, she integrates person-centered and choice approaches with the goal of promoting holistic healing through the incorporation of trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy. In session, Emily might ask about the stories you tell yourself and the stories you want to tell yourself. She may inquire what you want the ending to look like and what obstacles you need to overcome because she firmly believes there is always a way to turn obstacles into opportunities.
In addition to holistic talk therapy, Emily also offers ILF Neurofeedback using the Othmer Method. In her Neurofeedback practice, she utilizes her deep understanding of the connection between mind/body and brain/nervous system. It is through this understanding and the integration of her Neurofeedback training, Neurofeedback internship, and counseling skills that she will create a custom Neurofeedback experience for you to optimize healing.
No matter who you are or what your story is, Emily will meet you where you are and is deeply honored to walk this part of your journey with you.
