About this Therapist

In our fast-paced, achievement-oriented culture, it is easy to believe you have to have it all together and pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Sometimes this is just not possible, nor should it be. It is okay not to be okay! You do not have to face your struggles alone. Emily will work with you as you move toward emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical wholeness. Growth and change take place when we do something different, and this often involves input and support from other people, which is where counseling comes in.

While using a clinical counseling framework, Emily’s counseling is influenced by her Christian worldview and she looks to the Holy Spirit for guidance in how to best help each client. She works with individuals facing life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and grief and loss, among other situations.
