Meet Emily

Hi!  I am an AuDHD therapist with a passion for trauma therapy including EMDR, brainspotting, and parts work. 

I love connecting with my clients as unique and complex people and you will notice my warmth, acceptance, and enthusiasm for trying different approaches until we find a way to make therapy work for you! If you have been looking for therapist who is warm, nonjudgmental, direct, and out of the box, that might be me!

I have lived experience navigating trauma and healing as well as raising ADHD and Autistic kids as a neurodivergent parent. I am committed to walking through my own hard places so that I can show up with presence and authenticity to join you in yours.

Wherever it is that you have been and no matter how you see yourself, I want you to know that I will not judge you. I want to come alongside and help you find your way to a life that has meaning.

I use an integrative, relational, and person-centered approach in my work, allowing us to collaboratively identify and cultivate your innate strengths and resources in order to utilize them along with powerful trauma therapy modalities to heal past trauma and thrive in your present life.

Together we will work with your mind, instead of fighting against it.
