Individual Therapy
“Em had a remarkable ability to connect me to my inner wisdom, gently guiding me to uncover my limiting beliefs and intuitively steering our conversations toward the most impactful outcomes. Their approach is both insightful and empowering, allowing me to gain newfound confidence and clarity about my next steps…. I now have a clear path forward—something I likely would have spent years trying to achieve on my own.” - Kim
Approach
It will not always feel the way it does now. However, just as pain usually occurs within relational contexts, healing often has to occur inside of relationship, too. In order to integrate what has been and move forward, we need someone on the inside helping us to both stay with ourselves, and to find our way forward. Rooted in Gestalt therapy principles, somatic practices, and trauma-informed psychodynamic approaches, Em works with individuals to support their healing and growth. Using feminist, anti-racist, and liberation-oriented frameworks as their foundation, Em works with clients to understand themselves and their truths, within and outside of the norms that have been handed to us. Understanding that healing and freedom are not just isolated theoretical concepts, Em’s approach is one that helps people move into embodied experiments, relational practices and imaginal exploration. To have things be different in our lives, we have to grow our capacity to be present with the tough things, and the resourced creativity to weave our lives differently. Em specializes in healing sexual trauma, gender identity emergence, mapping and unmasking neurodivergence and perinatal/post-partum anxiety and depression.
