Authenticity is central to how I practice, and I believe a little curiosity can take us far. Bringing awareness, openness, compassion, and maybe even a little humor to our work, we will start with what brought you to therapy and build on what’s already working. As we explore what matters to you and what you’d like to change, we’ll set goals rooted in your values. Understanding what we value can help us understand who we are and how we want to live. Hi, I’m Emma. I specialize in working with preteens, teens, and young adults. I understand how heavy it can feel when anxiety or depression lingers, when you find yourself pulling away, or when your emotions feel overwhelming and you’re unsure what to do next. Trauma can make everyday routines and relationships feel harder, too. I aim for therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking about what you’ve been through at your own pace. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, find ways to cope that fit your life, and help you understand yourself with more compassion. Utilizing supportive psychotherapy, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), neurosomatic strategies, and play-based techniques. I also use trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) when clinically appropriate. Whether you’re taking the first step or returning to therapy, I’m honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and a life that feels more like your own.
