Welcome. I’m Emily.

There's a quote by Samuel Decker Thompson that really resonates with me:

"We are all just a car crash, a diagnosis, an unexpected phone call, a newfound love, or a broken heart away from becoming a completely different person."

There have been times, like this, that changed me in ways that I could never have predicted. And while I’ve experienced many difficulties and losses over the course of my life, the two that challenged everything that I thought I knew (both personally and professionally) were my daughter’s brain injury and my son’s death. The world and all my relationships looked completely different through the lens of heartbreak, anxiety, uncertainty, anger and sadness. And that’s where I meet many of my clients - piecing together their lives and struggling with some of the same things.

I truly consider it honor to be invited (however brief) to accompany you on your journey through the matrix of life, as you create meaning, discover new strengths, and work toward healing.

what it’s like to work with me

You can expect to have my undivided attention. And I hope that you will find that I’m genuinely interested in you and curious about what you think and feel.

I do my very best to keep an open mind and create an atmosphere that is inclusive and honors the diversity of human experience.

As an integrative, holistic therapist, I am comfortable blending various evidenced-based counseling modalities while also honoring the intuitive, sacred knowing of the heart.

Grieving, healing, and personal growth are often accompanied by existential questioning and/or the need to create meaning. Accordingly, I invite you to include any cherished creative, self-care or spiritual resources as part of the therapeutic process. This includes, but is not limited to, prayer, art, music, journaling, meditation, yoga, tarot, massage, sound therapy, dance, energy work, crystals, aromatherapy, communing with nature, breathwork, etc.

Fundamentally, I believe that the wisdom inherit in your lived experience is foundational to the process of personal growth. I hope to create a space where your internal wisdom shines brightly, illuminating the path ahead.

a little more about me

When I’m not working, you might find me reading, wandering thrift shops & antique malls in search of pre-loved treasures, tending my roses, swimming (especially during these hot Texas summers), or refinishing discarded furniture. I share my home with my gentle companions - my Golden Retrievers.
