academia), neurodivergent (e.g., high masking diagnosed or suspected ADHD and/or Autism, mild-moderate OCD, typically AFAB), and LGBTQIA+ populations. Emily primarily works with graduate students, young professionals, and professionals. She mainly has experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions (e.g., transition to adulthood, stress management, grief, identity exploration and development), and providing affirmation around neurodivergent, and LGBTQIA+ identities. Emily’s style is considered direct, honest, and blunt with an autonomous structure to her sessions.

Emily’s aim in her work is to empower clients to reach their potential by meeting people where they are at in life. She believes the therapeutic process is collaborative in nature as she helps guide clients towards an empowered sense of self.
