I was nervous as this was my first time in therapy ever at the age of 31. Working with Emily has been an amazing experience. She's knowledgeable and patient and allows me to explore and learn from myself, my past behavior, and discuss what I want for the future

Emily’s experience is immense and I appreciate her gentle approach. It’s amazing how much Emily comprehends without being told much information. Helpful for grief counseling, relationships, job loss, and raising small children. Also has helped with confidence issues.
