More about Emily

- LMHC, LPC
I provide a safe and welcoming space for you to focus on what’s most important — you. Through individual therapy offered via telehealth, I work with females ages 11 and up who are navigating a variety of life stressors and mental health concerns. In our work together, I offer support, guidance, psychoeducation, and a compassionate listening ear. I understand that stepping outside your comfort zone can be challenging — but staying stuck and uncertain about your path can be just as difficult. Together, we’ll work to help you clarify your goals, strengthen your coping skills, and create your vision of a life worth living. It’s not always easy to open up about our emotions, fears, or dreams. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and work toward your goals and aspirations. We all face challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone—or in silence.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
