More about Emily

“There is a light that never goes out”. -The Smiths

I’m warm, curious, and direct. I care about insight, but I’m also interested in what happens when you already understand the pattern and still find yourself stuck in it. I may gently challenge avoidance, self-abandonment, or familiar relationship patterns, while also making room for humor, uncertainty, and ordinary human messiness.

I’m also here to hold space for the stuff that can’t change or get better. I deeply understand what it means to feel inconsolable, which is why I am committed to providing a grounded and non-judgmental space where you can just exist exactly as you are.

I’ve spent many years training in different ways of understanding attachment, relationships, the nervous system, and the parts of us that develop to help us get through difficult things. I don’t use one formula with everyone. I pay attention to the person in front of me and to what seems useful moment to moment.

I bring both training and lived experience into the room, and I don’t see therapy as one person having all the answers. I feel it is our collaboration that is the medicine.
