About Me

Hi, I am Emily, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I am certified as an EMDR therapist. I have experience in working with adults and children on depression, anxiety, trauma, life's transitions, and self-esteem.
I believe that counseling creates the opportunity for individuals to learn, grow, and eventually thrive. By building a trusting relationship with my clients, I have confidence that change can happen. I understand that each individual is unique and deserves to have a fulfilling life. I work to allow a space that provides unconditional positive regard, empathy, and tools for growth.

When I am out of the office, I am likely enjoying spending time with my daughter and husband. I love being able to connect with nature and spending time being outside.

Education & Experience

I went to Virginia Tech for both my Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and my Master’s in Education with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
