Hello, my name is Emily (she/her) and I genuinely love the work of therapy, both as practitioner and client. I believe effective therapy begins with an authentic and safe client-counselor connection and includes heart and humor whenever possible. A Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), I specialize in relationships – whether romantic or sexual, the relationship you have with your new or growing family, your family of origin, friends, larger systems, and your relationship with yourself.

I work with adults (people ages 18 and up), older adolescents (people ages 16 and up; requires guardian consent), and relationships (two or more people together). Using therapy techniques primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, person-centered, and narrative therapy, I work to meet individual and relationship needs using a trauma-informed lens where safety is the priority. While I am not a Certified Sex Therapist, I receive ongoing consultation and resources around sex therapy topics, and consider my practice to be sex-positive. Your therapy goals are as important to me as they are to you. We will work together to determine a comfortable pace for self-exploration and expansion.
