Hi, I’m Emma (she/they). In my practice, I aim to co-create a warm, compassionate, and affirming environment to support each of my clients in their therapeutic journey. I believe therapy is a space that can help us better understand our past experiences and relationships and see the role they play in our current perspectives on the world and ourselves. Together, we’ll explore your history, identify patterns and behaviors, define boundaries, and move into growth and lasting change.

My psychotherapy practice is built on an integrated approach, primarily combining psychodynamic and relational theories. I believe therapy should not only come from a strengths based and trauma informed perspective, but include a mix of modalities to provide the best care and services for each individual. I frequently incorporate aspects of DBT, somatics, motivational interviewing, parts work, and acceptance and commitment therapy into my work.

Through my experience in private practice, community programs, youth services organizations, and school based therapy, I’ve worked with people of different racial, ethnic, sexuality, gender, religious, and physical ability identities. My speciality and passion is working with LGBTQ2IA+ individuals, especially adolescents and young adults. The breadth of my practice includes helping clients navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity, intimacy, relationships, and self esteem. I also have focused my expertise on working with adolescents and their families, and highly enjoy that work.
