Emily has been very helpful in my journey of self awareness. I feel safe opening up with fragile emotions and she offers up sound input for me while on my road to better self awareness.

Emily is great! She understands, listens and is knowledgeable about what has been happening in my life. She is aware that some of these things that I am dealing with can be some serious concerns. I would recommend her expertise to others that are in need of a therapist.

Emily helped me warm up to therapy. I was very reserved at the beginning of our conversation and by the end I was telling all my business. I felt lighter after our session. She was kind as well as tips to use for coping. Highly recommend Emily. She was great
