Over 23 years she has worked in multiple settings and with many kinds of problems, which informs a flexible, practical approach in sessions.

She invites people to start by describing what matters most to them.

How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s priorities; it helps people set goals and build practical steps that feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and everyday habits influence feelings and behavior, and it offers clear tools to test and change those patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and reshape patterns in close relationships and stronger emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and recommend methods that seem likely to fit. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing quick check-ins during a lunch break, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as they do in person, and many people find practical skills like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and emotionally-focused conversations work well through remote sessions.
