Hey There,
I’m Emily,

My path to becoming a therapist began through my work with marginalized foster and probation youth. Bearing witness to their pain, resilience, and the impact of systemic injustice pulled me toward this work. I saw how much it mattered for someone to show up with consistency, care, and curiosity- and I wanted to be that person.

I also know firsthand the power of therapy as a client myself. That experience taught me that healing doesn’t come from fixing people. It comes from creating space where people feel seen, safe, respected, and able to reconnect with the parts of themselves they had to silence, protect, or push aside in order to survive.

My work is especially rooted in supporting first-gen, BIPOC, Latine, and LGBTQ+ communities who are tired of carrying everything alone. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying anxiety, family expectations, guilt, overthinking, self-abandonment, and the pressure to keep everyone okay while slowly losing touch with themselves.

What drives me is the belief that healing is not just personal- it’s cultural, generational, political and collective.

Therapy with me is a space where your lived experience is honored, not pathologized. We can explore what healing looks like on your terms- with room for your culture, your identity, your grief, your anger, your tenderness, your humor, and your truth.
