Hi! My name is Em and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping others explore ways to live their best life and deepen their sense of identity.

I am an autonomy-focused, fat-positive, Health At Every Size®, and anti-diet provider. I am also an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-affirming therapist who welcomes all genders and identities.

I see clients in-person as well as virtually.
Online therapy is available to anyone within California state lines.

I am a person-centered, collaborative therapist. This means that, while I bring my expertise and experience to the table, you remain the sole expert of your needs and goals as we work together. I value your autonomy and your right to determine what your preferences are in your therapy.

Therapy is a unique experience for every individual and I welcome feedback when someone feels they would prefer to shift their goals or try something different. While everyone has different preferences and ways they best receive support, here are some of the tools I offer that clients may find helpful to explore during our sessions:

• Narrative therapy and language exploration
• Mindfulness and guided breathing
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Brainspotting (a somatic trauma treatment that stems from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR)
• Craft expression through beading, knitting, crochet, or other artistic mediums

I offer a free 15-minute call so you can decide if I’m the right therapist for you!
