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.

Sometimes life's struggles and transitions have led to pain and feelings of being paralyzed and lost. You are not alone even though day after day it might feel like a daily battle. Counseling can be the answer to finding hope and a new beginning to finding answers, self-awareness, and self-compassion for making new choices and having a new outlook. Sarah helps you find connections between your thoughts, feelings and actions to be emotionally healthy and face past hurts that are holding you back. Thoughts aren't facts and you can learn to change that inner voice that criticizes you and shed faulty beliefs that lead you down the wrong path time and again. Sarah is certified in EMDR, a highly researched and supported therapy for trauma and PTSD. EMDR enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional pain and is also used to address multiple mental health issues. Using techniques that align with neuroscience, this therapy uses the body’s ability to heal, often producing relief from many symptoms quickly. For children, Sarah integrates play techniques with EMDR because children heal through play and imagination. The effectiveness of EMDR results in clients who feel empowered rather than paralyzed by life experiences that in the past caused them great pain. EMDR does not require extensive homework or hours of talking about the pain to find relief. Simply said, talk therapy helps clients handle emotional pain, but EMDR removes the emotional pain! This is why EMDR is almost always Sarah's go to choice for most of her clients regardless of therapy issue.
