About me

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm glad that you have taken the steps to getting the support you need to make a change to your life, and I'd like to help you. I would like to share a little bit about my experience and qualifications before we work together.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in San Diego. I am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#79569). I have spent over 10 years as a helper working with children, adolescents, and adults. With these populations I have provided individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. Additionally, I have facilitated anger management groups, domestic violence process groups, mindfulness groups, and Positive Discipline parenting groups.

I am a strong believer that each individual is capable of living life as their best self, defined by you. Together we can identify any road blocks that are standing in your way, then work collaboratively to develop goals to help you move these road blocks so that you can continue on your preferred path.

Throughout the therapy process, you will be provided with a safe and non-judgemental space to identify problems that you would like to address. I will be there to offer strengths based support to help you through the process. You already have the tools to be your best, they may just be lost in your toolbox...lets find them!
