About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin and Arizona using my skills to provide Psychotherapy since 2017. I have supported patients with their concerns including anxiety, stress, relationship issues, depression, grief, loss, and healing from traumas. I specialized in trauma-related healing from domestic violence, initiate partner violence, and abusive, toxic relationships. I have had experience with supporting people who face financial and employment stressors and have a certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor to process work and disability-related concerns; including those who experience traumatic injuries and coping with those as they return to work. I provide support to expats and those living in alternative lifestyles, supporting those in and through transitions and in nomadic lifestyles.

My approach is through a trauma-informed lens that promotes healing through mind, body, and spirit. I utilize techniques from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help make progress towards your goals. I am equipped to provide Christian-based therapy to prioritize biblical principles and spiritual strategies.

I look forward to the opportunity to support you in making progress towards your goals and will always be your encouragement as you face difficulties towards the progress you want. I value a trusting relationship and ensure a safe environment where you are able to be vulnerable to experience emotions and healing. I see each person's heart as valuable and to respect the journey and needs you have to support you the best I can.

Emily is great! Was very supportive letting me guide the conversations. She asked questions that really changed my perspective on things I had been doing for years, but always with encouragement and I never felt judged. I always looked forward to talking with her.

Emily is very knowledgeable and great at what she does. She knows how to put what I'm trying to communicate about my thoughts and feelings into clear words. She provides me with helpful, meaningful resources and exercises/activities and equips me with tools that help me greatly. I would highly recommend Emily, and appreciate working with her!
