Emily brings a rich and varied background in mental health, matched by a deep commitment to helping clients achieve their fullest potential. Emily provides specialized care to individuals and couples facing mental health and relational issues. Her passion lies in guiding others toward growth and meaningful change.  She has a focus in dealing with relational issues such as emotional and physical intimacy, infidelity, betrayal, and problematic sexual behaviors. Emily’s goal is to provide a space for her clients to feel seen and heard, to improve communication and empathy, and to empower you to define and achieve your preferred future.  


As a marriage and family therapist, Emily's approach integrates a variety of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including cognitive, behavioral, emotionally focused and solution-focused therapies, while also incorporating The Gottman Method and mindfulness techniques. Emily enjoys concepts pulled from attachment theory; learning about your attachment style helps individuals identify, understand, and restructure their emotional responses to foster stronger connections. Emily creates a welcoming and inclusive space, embracing diversity and tailoring treatment to meet everyone’s unique needs.  


Infidelity often feels like grief because it involves a profound sense of betrayal and loss. The betrayal shatters trust and safety in the relationship while the loss can encompass emotional security, shared identity, and future hopes. Experiences like infidelity and other trust violations are often felt as relational traumas, stirring up deep emotions that can be challenging to navigate. Emily will guide you through the complex and often painful journey of healing from infidelity by providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where emotions can be safely expressed and processed. She aims to help you rebuild the trust—either in your current relationship or within yourself—as you gain insights, reclaim personal agency, and rebuild hope.


Sexual problems are often present in relationships but not frequently discussed. Whether it’s challenges with sexual functioning, loss of intimacy, self-esteem struggles, or differences in cultural or religious beliefs, Emily is dedicated to exploring the root of the issue and helping you create the fulfilling sex life you desire. One of her goals in practice is helping you uncover the underlying patterns and build the skills needed to better manage challenges when they arise.

Mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions can be overwhelming and leave you feeling isolated. Emily understands that taking the first step toward seeking help can be difficult and recognizes the bravery it takes to begin therapy.
