About Emma
I received my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University with a specialization in Psychological Trauma Studies. I am also a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC-III) and have experience volunteering with Trevor Project’s crisis line serving LGBTQ+ youth. I have completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Brainspotting training.
I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health and treatment field in various capacities. I have extensive experience working with folks struggling with substance abuse, behavioral addictions, the impact of trauma, borderline personality disorder, and attachment wounds on both a group and individual level.
I am passionate about and committed to what I do- asking for support takes a tremendous amount of courage, and it is an honor to guide folks through this process.
When I’m not providing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, reading, and connecting with nature.
My approach to therapy is holistic and integrative, but rooted in person-centered and trauma-informed perspectives. I’m passionate about supporting folks in exploring internal patterns, core belief systems, and attachment wounds as well as developing practical tools to cope with day to day life.
I draw from different modalities and perspectives including psychodynamic therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), parts work, existential psychology, mindfulness, attachment theory, and somatic approaches like Brainspotting. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive, and social justice oriented.
Therapy is a collaborative and creative process where we work together to cultivate a life that's in alignment with what matters most to you. At the core of my practice lies a deep belief in the power of authentic connection and a dedication to creating a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your inner world with honesty, compassion, and curiosity.
