More about Emili
- 4 years' experience

- LCSW
I'm a therapist with several years of clinical experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. I'm particularly skilled in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and bring a affirming, inclusive approach to my practice.
My areas of focus include communication challenges, social anxiety, isolation, trauma recovery, body image concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, financial worries, workplace difficulties, and life transitions including pregnancy and childbirth. I also work with clients exploring impulsivity and its underlying patterns.
I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to therapy. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build insight, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical skills for meaningful change. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported as you move toward greater wellbeing.
I'm honored you're considering therapy, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
