I don’t know about you, but I feel an introduction is long overdue! I’m Emily, and I’m so glad you’re here. As a writer, blogger, and mental health therapist, I maintain a passion for stories — sharing in them, learning from them, and watching them weave the threads that keep us connected, with one another and with the planet that keeps us afloat.

Each of these roles offers me not just a sense of purpose, but a resting place — where I’m continually expanding my comfort zone and uncovering the wonders of not only what it means to be human, but to be fully alive: to absorb, the good, the bad, and the ugly with grace and gratitude.

No matter the form the day takes, it is always ripe with opportunity: to grow, to play, to laugh, to cry, to scream, to dance, to sing, to think, to overthink, to love, to be vulnerable, to be brave, to listen, to speak up, to create, to learn, to teach, to forgive, to grieve, to celebrate, to be mindful, to be curious, to strive, to connect, to disconnect, to fail, to begin again, to live.

My story has been far from linear, but the best ones — whose characters embolden us, whose words meet us where we are and leave us somewhere we didn’t know we belonged — never are.

What type of therapist are you?

I specialize in working with women who are wrestling with discomfort and uncertainty arising from life transitions, work and familial responsibilities, intimate partnerships, and chronic stressors that have become too heavy to bear. Here’s a taste of what I enjoy most about my work:

• Developing meaningful self-care strategies tailored to a client’s strengths, interests, and creativity
• Witnessing, writing, and rewriting clients’ stories with them
• Challenging clients to meet all of their parts with curiosity, gratitude, and tenderness
• Enabling clients to accept their experience while quieting the inner voice of self-judgment
• Working with clients to identify their values and live from a space that honors them
• Exploring the roles of nutrition, diet, sleep, and exercise in promoting clients’ emotional wellness
• Participating in clients’ growth as they learn to flourish in the face of life’s hardships

I want my clients to meet themselves at the start and end of each day and fall in love all over again with what they find. I try to help them want this too.

Golden milk, crosswords, learning new words, Yoga with Adriene, a stack of books which despite my noblest efforts only seems to grow, meditating, reading and rereading Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, screen time breaks, getting outdoors, finding new ways to satisfy my sweet tooth, not allowing said sweet tooth to limit my consumption of savory things, baking bread (or pretending I do), collecting bits of nature on walks, hiking as often as I can, running, diversifying my music library, and always, forever, invariably: spending time with my favorite girl, whose ears happen to perk up at the word “park,” Lyla.

Think we might be kindred spirits?
That’s funny, so do I!
