Hi, I'm Emily. What you'll find in a session with me is someone who shows up fully. That means compassion, curiosity, and honesty, and yes, humor too, because sometimes that's exactly what the work calls for. I'll challenge you to think differently or go a little deeper, but always with warmth. Sessions are collaborative and conversational, and I believe the relationship we build together is one of the most important parts of the process. I know trust takes time, and I'm not in a rush. I'm here for the long haul.

How We'll Work Together

No two people are the same, and I don't treat them that way. I'm interested in your whole inner world, the experiences that shaped you, the patterns you keep bumping into, and the motivations you might not even be fully aware of yet. My goal is to help you expand how you think and feel, without judgment, and at a pace that works for you.

Sometimes that means looking back. Sometimes it means staying right here and figuring out what to do next. I work primarily from Psychodynamic, Narrative, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy frameworks, and I weave in neuroscience, mindfulness, and CBT and DBT techniques to help connect what's happening in your mind with what's happening in your body. I work with individuals and couples across a range of areas including anxiety and depression, trauma, relationships and intimacy, self-esteem and body image, grief, life transitions, and more.

A Little About Emily

Before becoming a therapist, I was a teacher, and that experience never really left me. My time in education deepened my love of learning and my genuine curiosity about people, two things I bring into every session. Connection is also what keeps me grounded day to day. I get outside with my dog, put on music, call someone I care about. Laughing as much as possible is non-negotiable. I hold an MSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work and practice from an anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming perspective. Whatever you're working through, there's space for all of it here.
