She welcomes clients navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, as well as women’s issues, including postpartum anxiety and midlife transitions. Emily is especially passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma.

She offers a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to process past events and regain control over their emotional well-being. Her trauma-informed care integrates evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to build emotional resilience. Emily also has deep experience supporting clients on the autism spectrum and individuals with psychosis or schizophrenia, helping them develop practical skills to enhance daily functioning and relationships. In addition to individual therapy, Emily offers support to individuals who require self-insight and emotional processing of life’s stressors and she frequently works with women navigating identity, parenting, and major life transitions.

Her experience spans intensive outpatient programs (IOP), group therapy, and outpatient clinic work, allowing her to provide flexible care options based on each client’s level of need. She is a Registered Art Therapist and often builds in visual aids and experiential processing to those who are open to it and may feel stuck gaining insight through traditional talk therapy. Outside of her work at LifeStance Health, Emily enjoys reading, painting, being outdoors, and spending time with her family.
