More about Emma
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I'm passionate about understanding people and helping them illuminate their strengths and recognize where they’re struggling. I work with couples and adults navigating relationships, parenting, and personal growth. As a relationally-focused therapist, I bring a body-centered approach, integrating somatic practices that support reconnection with self and others. I create a space that honors the wisdom of the body and the resilience of the human spirit. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in the belief that healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported.
