Starting counseling can feel like a big step—especially when life looks fine on the outside but feels overwhelming, uncertain, or disconnected on the inside.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA, LPC) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through change, growth, and difficult seasons of life. My background includes advanced graduate training in both psychotherapy and family systems, along with experience in corporate settings, education, and higher education—giving me a broad understanding of how personal wellbeing, relationships, work, identity, and life transitions intersect.
Clients often tell me that they feel deeply heard in our work together—that I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help them organize thoughts and emotions in ways that bring clarity and movement.
My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I integrate insight-oriented work with evidence-based approaches including cognitive and relational therapies, attachment-informed perspectives, emotion-focused work, strengths-based counseling, and solution-focused strategies. Therapy with me is not about judgment or quick fixes—it is about helping you better understand yourself and make meaningful, sustainable changes.
I especially enjoy working with adults and couples navigating:
• Life transitions and identity shifts
• Women’s health, perimenopause, and menopause
• Relationship challenges and couple dynamics
• Parenting, adoption, and changing family roles
• Career exploration, career transitions, and returning to work
• Workplace stress, burnout, and professional identity
• ADHD in adults, parents, and women
• Midlife reinvention and empty nest transitions
• Moving, relocation, and rebuilding community
• Military families and military life transitions (non-combat/PTSD focused)
• International, multicultural, and expat experiences
• Spanish-speaking clients
I also offer support around career development and professional transitions, helping clients explore next steps with intention and confidence while staying grounded in counseling rather than coaching alone.
If you’re looking for a therapist who combines warmth, experience, thoughtful insight, and practical support, I would be honored to work with you.

Emma has been great to work with . She provides suggestions that have been helpful and doesn’t let me get away with things other therapists have. She’s helping me understand where I need to improve.

Emma is a breath of fresh air! I look forward to my weekly sessions with her. She actively listens, and supports. She also asks the difficult questions that encourage me to dig deep. My time with her is a blessing to my week...and to my healing journey. I am grateful for the excellent match.
