“Sometimes life is scary and dark. That is why we must find the light.” – BMO.

Hi! I’m Emily- a therapist for the mystics and misfits; the creatives and cynics; the outcasts and openminded; the artistic and awkward; the hippies and the highly sensitive! If you identify as a person who struggles to feel belonging or doesn’t feel comfortable in a traditional mental health setting, then I may be a good fit for you! 

I believe that each person has inherent value and worth; that everyone is worthy of experiencing healing and empowerment. I want to help you work towards becoming your best version of yourself and to help you feel empowered as the author and holder of the pen in your life’s story. When you step into my office or enter into a teletherapy session with me you can expect to find yourself in a safe space filled with compassion, empathy, warmth, and probably the use of humor when appropriate. A space where it is my hope and goal that you can feel heard and seen while collaboratively working towards healing without worry of judgement. 

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy and that one of the most important factors of therapy is a good client/therapist relationship. I work with folks 14 and up and have special interests in working with creatives and artists, those deconstructing their religion/spirituality or who feel spiritually homeless so to speak, people coming out of purity culture, trauma work (including religious trauma), processing and doing work around past childhood experiences and their impact, working with those who come across like they “have it all together”, depression, anxiety, boundary setting, the LGBTQIA+ community, polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous folks; and doing work around helping people feel more connected to their inner self and bodies. I believe that each person is the expert in their own story. I take a stance of curiosity so I can learn about you for who you are, and so we can work together on whatever it is that will be most helpful for you. 

I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I have experience working as a therapist intern with children and adults in a private practice therapy setting and with teens in a level 4 day treatment setting. Whatever you're facing, I would be honored to come alongside you and to help you find the light, so to speak. I commend you for taking this step towards healing and growth, and I look forward to doing good work together!
