About Me
Welcome. I’m Emily.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I work with clients virtually in Indiana, Utah, and Florida. I’m also a sensitive human being who has learned from experience that lack of boundaries, perfectionism, and anxiety can lead to burnout and mental health issues.
I take a holistic approach to therapy and wellness. Personal growth can feel scary and this process will go at your pace. I will be honest with you and challenge you - in a gentle way! You won’t become a different person, but you’ll reconnect to who you really are beneath the beliefs, behaviors, and relationship patterns weighing you down.
My greatest wish is that you live a fulfilling life, and our sessions together will shine a light on what that means for you.
“Never let anyone steal your joy.”

My Story
I have always loved learning about people, cultural differences, mental health, and wellness. Becoming a therapist was not part of my “career plan,” and my first career was actually in international education/study abroad. A life threatening mental health issue led me to work with a wonderful therapist, and I understood the benefit of therapy on a deeper level. I eventually became a mental health counselor as a way to provide that support for others.
I enjoy supporting people as they rediscover their true nature and tune in to their inner wisdom. In addition to therapy, yoga and spiritual practices helped me rediscover parts of myself that were dormant. I now embrace rest, laughter, and healthy relationships as vital to wellness.
We are all works in progress and I try to keep a beginner’s mind when it comes to self-discovery and growth. I want to instill in each client that they are whole and complete as they are, AND capable of growth and healing.
