Emily is certified as a SYMBIS (Saving your Marriage Before it Starts) facilitator and has used the curriculum for both pre and post marriage counseling. Emily is also certified in the Neurosequential Model of Therapy that is best used when working with those who have experienced severe trauma.
Emily has worked in a variety of treatment settings from inpatient residential to private practice. Because of her different experiences, she feels very comfortable working with a variety of populations ranging from couples to kids and anything in between.
Her areas of interest include teenagers and families, young adults, couples, and people who have experienced divorce. Emily believes in meeting clients where they are and with whatever they bring into the counseling space. You can often hear Emily say therapy is the place we discover more “data” about ourselves. She believes gathering knowledge and understanding about ourselves, helps us better understand and love the people around us.
When Emily is not in the therapy office, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, watching sports, and traveling.
