I am a Health Medical Psychologist, with over 25 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including behavioral weight loss, eating disorders, behavioral approaches to resolving, preventing and adjusting to medical diagnoses such as autoimmune disease, cardiac rehab and cancer, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and life transitions. I also work with clients on behavioral weight loss and disease prevention, by creating healthier patterns and lifestyle.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic treatment. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I have just recently started working with Dr. Emery. So far she has been great.

Dr Emery is warm understanding and accommodating. She provides practicable tools to help me help myself and encourages self reflection and actualisation. I would strongly recommend Dr Emery.

Dr Emery has been a massive help in getting me into a far better place than where I was before. She’s an amazing listener and facilitator of recovery and working with her has been brilliant

Dr. Emery has helped me learn CBT techniques that help me navigate my anxiety. She has also helped me work through my grief by truly listening to me and offering her expertise. She has helped me feel not so helpless and a little more positive/grounded as I try to let go of what I can’t control. I appreciate it greatly.

I am so thankful for Dr. Emery's wisdom and guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is working through life changes, trauma, or anxiety. I am not the same person I was when I first started counseling and have grown so much from her guidance and encouragement. The techniques that she has taught me have given me a confidence I wasn't sure was possible.

Dr. Emery is a very empathetic and kind counselor. She listened completely and focused on helping me overcome the anxiety I was struggling with. She provided techniques I had never heard of to reduce my tension and as a result, my nervousness and quality of sleep has improved. Her willingness to meet via video chat, telephone or messaging was helpful and she always responded in a timely manner. I definitely recommend her.
