Hi! I’m Emily. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for helping others.

I am a relational therapist. I value the therapeutic relationship that we have together as one of the most important methods for healing. I am trauma-informed and use an attachment lens in all of the work that I do.

I am a trauma therapist. I use (& love!) Internal family systems (IFS), EMDR, polyvagal theory, and I especially love to integrate all three to maximize safety, self-energy, and healing. I am certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

I use an integrative approach and primarily combine IFS and EMDR, and will also use techniques from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, while incorporating psychodynamic, attachment, and relational theories. I am warm and supportive, and I use a lot of humor.
