Hi! My name is Emily and my loves are my family, adventures, and travel. Oh yeah, throw Disney, animals, sports, and cooking in there as well!! A little bit about me, I am a Midwest girl now living in Florida and my original professional pursuit in life was Meteorology (yep weather ) but having lived all over the country and sharing experiences with so many people both personally and professionally, I realized that most of us are just trying to make it through the day. This in-turn formed another love....counseling.
I received my bachelor's degree from UMass and went-on to receive my Masters in Counseling/Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a concentration in Family and Forensics. I spent my early counseling years working with those in incarceration as well as providing individual counseling with both students and families at a local university, as well as a treatment center. I now work with a diverse population through a local non-profit. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, marital and family, parenting issues, as well as motivation and self-esteem to name a few. I have also worked extensively with care-giver issues, traumas, and addictions.
As a licensed mental health counselor, I utilize many therapeutic techniques , but mostly I come from a holistic, person-centered approach that is integrative and driven by you, because what you are struggling with is unique to YOU and there is no "one perfect therapy" that fits everyone! You are awesome just by visiting this site, that itself shows you want something to change. I am the right counselor for you if you are willing to try; things can change if you want it. I also have my limitations...I can't solve your problems, but we can work on goals together for change, I also can't give you the winning lottery numbers, or wave a magic wand that all your problems will immediately go away. But I will be your cheerleader, your support, and the person who is ready to take this step with you!!!

I was skeptical of therapy, as a male there is that stigma associated with not having your sh*t together. Emily has made an impact on my life and change my perception of how i view therapy and I've recommended therapy to several friends. Emily helps me view things from a different perspective and it has made me more open, has taken a weight off my shoulders, I've become more comfortable with who i am and am now better at communicating with the people around me and has made such a great impact on my life and can't thank her and the platform for being there. Thank you

I have been talking with Emily for a month now. Emily expresses deep concern and empathy for my past. I never feel judged. She helps me to see how a situation in my life has effected me and what may have caused the situation to happen in the first place. I feel like with more time, I will find deep healing and understanding with her guidance.
