Support for Life’s Losses, Challenges, and New Beginnings

Holistic Therapy for Grief, Trauma, and Personal Growth

Serving Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, and‍ ‍Washington Online

Helping you navigate transformative life experiences with clarity

Get started.

Emily’s‍ ‍holistic approach to therapy is

Non-Pathologizing. Reactions and symptoms are respected as natural responses that seek understanding and a restored sense of balance.

Trauma-Informed. Safety, choice, and pacing come first.

Whole-Person Focused. Thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, energy, and inner values are deeply connected.

Relational. Growth and healing happen in connection, not isolation.

Emotional pain, trauma responses, and nervous system patterns are not seen as pathologies but rather as nature’s attempts to protect, regulate, and restore balance.

Holistic psychotherapy recognizes that healing happens when every part of you is welcomed with compassion. Together, we'll explore connections between your mind, emotions, body, relationships, and inner wisdom, creating a personalized path toward clarity and growth.

You may resonate with this approach, if you are:

  • living with grief or loss‍,

  • healing from trauma,

  • recovering from a life altering injury or illness,

  • seeking personal growth that feels embodied, not forced,

  • deconstructing long-held beliefs and experiencing shifts in awareness, perceptions of self or relationships

  • tired of approaches that label or pathologize your experience.

Whatever brings you here, you are welcome, exactly as you are.

Therapy with Emily

I approach therapy with curiosity and deep respect for your inner intelligence. I do not see my role as someone who fixes, but rather as someone who helps you translate what your nervous system, emotions, and deeper self are already communicating.

My work is shaped by years of clinical experience, personal healing, and a devotion to practices that honor the wisdom of the human system. Our work, together, is rooted in safety, trust, and presence. You’ll be met with deep listening, compassion, and respect.

You can expect:

~ a calm, attuned, and supportive space,

~ gentle pacing guided by your nervous system,

~ curiosity rather than judgment,

~ techniques chosen collaboratively (not imposed), and

~ room for emotion, insight, and integration.

Trauma | PTSD

A holistic approach to trauma treatment acknowledges the cognitive, emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual impact of traumatic experiences while viewing these responses as understandable and protective adaptations.

Therapy supports recovery and adjustment after brain injury for survivors and their families by fostering resilience in a way that addresses the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, physical, relational, and practical challenges that can arise.

Therapy provides a reflective and supportive space for people questioning aspects of their identity, worldview, or personal beliefs, as well as the intentional reconstruction of a sense of self that is aligned with evolving values and experiences.

LGBTQ+ Affirming, Body-Inclusive, Accessible Care

Therapy that honors the many paths people take to find meaning, connection, and purpose. Whether you are guided by religion | spirituality, personal philosophy, cultural traditions, nature, or a secular worldview, your beliefs and experiences are welcome and respected here. Across our differences, we share a common humanity and a deep need to be seen, understood, and treated with compassion.

Healing begins when

  • we reconnect with our inner clarity,

  • release what no longer serves us, &

  • invite the whole self back into balance.

Therapy Tailored to You

Every person and every relationship is unique. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, navigating grief, deconstructing old beliefs, or pursuing personal growth, therapy is tailored to you using a blend of approaches that best fit your needs. Together, we'll explore different therapy methods to find the best match for you.

Here are a few options:

EMDR. From a holistic perspective, EMDR promotes resilience and overall well-being by helping you process and reconsolidate distressing experiences while integrating the mind, body, and emotions.

Brainspotting is a holistic stillness practice that helps access and process unresolved trauma, emotions, and experiences stored in the brain and body, fostering deeper self-awareness and healing.

Energy-informed psychotherapy integrates ancient wisdom, the body's subtle energy systems, and insights from modern neuroscience to support balance, emotional regulation, and healing.

Mind-Body Awareness. Cultivation of mindful attention to the body's wisdom, supports nervous system regulation, deepens mind-body awareness, and fosters lasting balance and well-being.

Heart-led therapy approaches emphasize compassionate attunement, presence, and respect for the wisdom of emotions, creating a space for reflection, connection, and self-discovery.

Depth Psychotherapy. Jungian psychology honors symbolism, synchronicities, and shadow work as pathways to integrating unconscious aspects of self and cultivating wholeness.

  • a deeper sense of self-trust & clarity

  • grief that softens & feels more integrated

  • understanding of long-standing patterns that “never made sense”

“Your heart knows the way.” Rumi

Life can shift in unexpected ways, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Therapy can help you integrate change and grow into who you’re becoming. If this approach resonates with you, I invite you to connect and schedule a consultation.

Note: I am not accepting new clients at this time. My practice is currently full. I expect to have openings in September 2026 and look forward to welcoming new clients at that time.
