Welcome in! I'm Emma, a counselor who's in her sweet spot working with clients navigating anxiety, emotional regulation struggles, trauma, overwhelm, people pleasing, and chronic pain or illness. For many of my clients, these experiences overlap and play into one another. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is helping my clients reconnect to their feelings and internal experiences. I prioritize a collaborative experience where we engage with curiosity to understand what's happening underneath the surface to see sustainable change. I offer telehealth-only services in both Missouri and Ohio. I base my therapeutic style on the foundation that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important predictors of therapy success. Thus, I place a lot of emphasis on creating a warm, genuine, and accepting atmosphere. I tell my clients often that I may have the education, but they are always the expert on their lived experience. Sometimes we know something needs to change before we know where to start. Counseling gives you space to slow down, get curious about your experiences, and explore what might help. If you're ready to make that jump, please reach out via email, contact form on my website, or phone and I will get back to you within 2 business days (T-F).
