“… my goal is to inform and empower women through connection and allyship.”

Hello…

My name is Emily and I am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW).  I work as a psychotherapist in a holistic setting specializing in women’s mental health. My background includes individual and dyadic therapy, medical social work, special education, and program development. As a therapist, I have a deep understanding of the various biological, social, environmental, and psychological factors that impact an individual’s worldview (or “core belief”). Oftentimes our core belief is a negative one developed in early childhood, and it impacts our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My focus is helping clients identify their core belief, recognize its impact, and guide them on strategies to incrementally shift it. My theoretical orientation is rooted in a holistic model of care, including a strengths-based, person-centered approach. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and somatic healing to support my clients with reaching their authentic self so they could fully show up in the world. I help guide processing emotions in an environment where clients feel safe, heard, respected, and understood.

I started the Nurtured Collective to provide a space for women to obtain information, destigmatize the significant stressors of motherhood, build connections, and utilize resources in a space that fosters growth, empathy, and resiliency.
