Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 24 years of professional work experience. Yet that isn't the most important characteristic for you to know about me. As a follower of Jesus Christ, it is through the lens of His love for others that I see the value of life, that I live in respect for ALL others, and I see the possibilities for sanctification (to set apart for special use or purpose), for healing, and for redemption to pain in this life. I believe Jesus to be the Son of God and that He is the greatest therapist to have ever lived and loved. A client's own belief system will be explored to help them attain their therapeutic goals as well as guidance given based on the Bible that is relevant to individual needs.
Born and raised in Tennessee, Georgia was home before moving to New York. Through the years, experience has included that such as assisting clients with stress and anxiety, decision-making, communication & relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence, and parenting & family issues (including work with birth parents, foster and adoptive parents as well as families of children with disabilities).
Feeling safe, respected, and heard is paramount for individuals and will be met with sensitivity and compassion. Our dialogue will be goal-directed, and the treatment plan will be tailored to your unique and specific needs with a time frame for growth in healing that brings hope.
It takes courage to take steps for change towards more fulfilling and joy-filled moments in life. Through your journey, I am here to support & empower you, guiding you through to self-actualization.

Emily was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone who has a struggle with childhood trauma or PTSD and also the difficulties of navigating life as a parent and a Christian woman

Emily has single-handedly changed my life. She found me in one of the worst situations I have been in my life, and has shown me how to reflect, diagnose the issue, and move forward. She is truly a blessing in my life and I am so unbelievably thankful to have been matched with her.
