Transformative Psychotherapy
Work with me to create a unique therapy program that incorporates westernized therapy, embodied practices, and earth-based teachings to bring balance into your life.
I am passionate about the power of the mind-body connection, and my priority is to provide accessible tools and techniques that inspire you to begin a dialogue with your body. Together, we will co-create a personalized therapy program, utilizing a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), Play therapy, and The Resilience Toolkit.
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, have participated in in-home OCD treatment, and have worked 1-1 with many clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, and trauma. While my work over the years has been informed through education and client experience, my work in psychotherapy also comes from my own personal journey with mental health, chronic illness, and identity work.
I believe there’s no one way to heal—it’s about creating a personal toolbox that works for you.
Before we begin exploring deeper traumas and shadow work, we’ll first focus on building practical tools to recognize and regulate stress in the moment. These are simple, accessible practices you can use anytime, anywhere.
The Resilience Toolkit is a structured system designed to reduce stress and cultivate resilience, empowering you to envision, create, and sustain positive change.
Through the Toolkit, you’ll learn to:
Recognize your unique stress and relaxation cycles
Understand when stress is working for you—and when it’s working against you
Choose from a variety of quick, effective tools to regulate stress in the moment
Develop lasting habits that foster profound and sustainable transformation
There isn’t a single “fix” for anxiety—it’s an ongoing process. By consistently down-regulating the nervous system over time, we create the conditions to re-pattern old responses and open space for lasting change.
"My life was built around wounds that weighed too much to ignore, that literally, made me sick and tired (emotionally and physically) of carrying years of unresolved experiences. Although I tried counseling in the past, I struggled with the traditional model of the practice leading me to discontinue therapy. I am grateful to the universe that my path crossed with Emma’s. When you find the right guide to help you through your darkness and sort through the pain, your journey in life becomes lighter and manageable. Although the journey is mine to redefine and reimagine, Emma’s therapy style makes it possible to heal. It is hard work and it takes tremendous commitment and courage, it is possible when you find someone like Emma who provides a safe space and is real with you. I especially like the non-traditional techniques because they work!" -
