*Accepting new clients now!

I am a licensed counselor working with adults and adolescents (ages 13+) offering individual counseling, couples counseling, and parent coaching. Starting counseling can sometimes feel overwhelming and scary, and I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to try something new. I view counseling as a collaborative process where we work together to explore and discover new ways to relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. This starts with building a relationship of trust together. Listening to both the body and the mind, I take an interest in your interpersonal experiences and the larger systems that impact them believing we are often harmed, healed, and transformed through our relationships.

Using an integrative approach to fit each client, I incorporate many theories and modalities in my practice including relational psychodynamic theories, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and developmental and attachment theories. However, research shows that the most significant agent of change in counseling is an authentic relationship between the client and counselor. This is why I will always strive to show up genuinely with you and attune to your lived experiences, needs, goals, and hopes. In knowing oneself more fully we develop the capacity for meaningful change. I’m here to work alongside you on that journey and look forward to the prospect of partnering with you and seeing if we are a good fit!

About Emily:

Before becoming a counselor, I spent 6 years as an elementary school teacher and loved working with students and their families. My classroom ran on strong relationships, humor, and a dash of controlled chaos, all of which have translated into my work as a counselor. A bookworm who thrives on rainy days, you can often find me curled up with a cup of tea and a book. I also have a deep love for the Pacific Northwest and love spending time in the many beautiful places that Washington offers.
