Hi! My name is Emily! I am a LPC in the state of Texas and LCPC in the state of Maryland. I offer Virtual/In-Person (Fort Worth) appointments in TX and virtual ONLY in MD. I work particularly with both males and females who are struggling with Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorders, varieties of grief, and anxiety. I believe that strength and encouragement can be found in having someone process our challenges with us. I strive to create a safe space where you can learn from current thinking patterns, explore new coping skills, and grow in more effective behaviors and thought processes. Often we underestimate the impact of having someone share space with us in some of our darkest moments. I would be honored to make space with you.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

Honestly? I have always wanted to help people. After starting therapy for the first time in my own life while I was in college, I felt a new type of passion. This was what I wanted to do! I wanted provide others with an opportunity to experience this same empowerment I had felt in my own life. Over the course of several years, I continued my education and became a therapist myself so that I could create a safe space for others to process experiences and grow in effectiveness just as my therapist had provided for me.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

It's okay if the process seems daunting. It usually is. It's not the sign you are looking for that this isn't the right move. Sometimes the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is to lean into discomforts and pursue a more effective route. If you're exploring counseling, that usually tells me that what you've been doing up until this point isn't serving you as well as it's felt like it has in the past. Change is usually hard and uncomfortable. Initiating change can be intimidating. Growing into a space you want to be able to get to is life changing and oh so rewarding. It will be hard work--I can 100% guarantee that. And it will be meaningful and worth the effort for us to take the time to learn how to value and prioritize yourself together.

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

Even though I am a therapist I am also human. It is crucial to me to bring this awareness and reminder into my therapy sessions. I will make mistakes. I won't have all the right answers or always say exactly the right thing. I'm really forthcoming with that in sessions. I'll make mistakes and take responsibility of them. I try to show up in a posture of humility and desiring growth so that my clients can see me authentically show up with them and for them in ways that promote growth for us both. Feedback is extremely important to me and I will ask clients for it. I don't think I sit on the other side of the room with all of the right answers and I'm the first to admit that. I'm also aware of the fact that I will be providing you with feedback and challenging you so I want there to be certain reciprocity for us. I want to be relational for my clients. I will bring humor into our sessions because it's a big part of my personality and therapy isn't meant to be heavy and overwhelming all the time! And most of all, I strive to let clients feel seen, valued, understood, and prioritized. Our sessions are about you and your goals, experiences, and strategies. I want spend time providing you with the safety to explore each of those things and more in a way you might not have every been able to before.
