Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), a U.S. Army veteran with over 20 years of service, and a Doctor of Behavioral Health student. My journey into mental health grew from a passion for helping others navigate challenges, build resilience, and recognize their strengths. My military experience deepened my understanding of trauma, stress, and life transitions, inspiring me to help others create meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and veterans experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping children and families understand how emotions, thoughts, experiences, and reactions connect. My approach is compassionate, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, and ACT. I am pursuing TF-CBT certification and the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credential through specialized training and supervision. I have also completed EMDR training and receive ongoing supervision. I believe therapy is more than talking. It's about developing coping skills, building emotional awareness, discovering strengths, and creating lasting change in a safe, judgment-free environment. You are more than your diagnosis or experiences. Together, we can explore the layers of who you are and build a path forward.
