About Emily

A feminist, neurodiversity-affirming, queer- and trans-affirming, fat-affirming, and disability-justice aligned therapist who centers values-driven work and liberation in clinical care. The therapist focuses on helping people heal from both external oppression and internalized messages that undermine well-being, guiding clients toward lives that reflect their deepest priorities and identities.

Areas of concentration include eating disorders and disordered eating, body image concerns, neurodiversity, grief and loss, and trauma. The therapist aims to build a welcoming space where individuals can bring their whole, authentic selves and explore difficult material without shame or judgment. This approach supports recovery and personal growth across a range of challenges.

Therapeutic work draws primarily on person-centered, feminist-grounded principles, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration. The therapist also brings training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and regularly weaves in practices such as self-compassion, expressive arts, elements of philosophy and pop culture, and self-advocacy skills. The therapist welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with clients on their healing and liberation journeys and to support meaningful change over time.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the exploration of their experiences; it supports identity work, grief processing, and body-image concerns by prioritizing understanding and empathy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness with validation strategies, making it useful for overwhelming emotions, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and flexible responses to painful thoughts and feelings, helping clients clarify priorities and build meaningful habits aligned with their values.

The therapist approaches the selection of methods as a collaborative process. Finding the right blend of techniques often unfolds over the first weeks of work, with the therapist and client experimenting together to identify practices that match the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or caregiving responsibilities. These remote formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while tailoring the mode of connection to each client’s comfort and needs.
