About Emily

Welcome!  I help people foster and maintain safe, loving, vibrant and sustainable relationships with the understanding that most issues people face are relational and that healing comes from connection. I have expertise in C-PTSD, unconventional relationship structures, all stages of parenting from pregnancy to adult children, as well as climate anxiety and grief. I draw from multiple models: Emotionally Focused, Narrative, Mindfulness, Somatic, and Improv, with a sensitivity to multicultural backgrounds and various intersectionalities. I’m an actively engaged, compassionate therapist who’s fond of the saying, “People who laugh together, last together.” 

I come to psychotherapy after a significant career in children’s entertainment, childbirth and parenting education, and draw from my vast and varied life experience. Now that my youngest child is launched, I'm spending the rest of my professional life helping individuals, couples, families, and groups heal, improve and enrich their relationships.

Please note that finding the right therapist is vital to having a satisfying and successful experience in which your needs are met. I highly recommend taking advantage of free consultations to ensure that you feel understood and that you can imagine forming a connection since this too is a relationship!

Out of network insurance superbills provided

I've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.  Mentaya is perfect if you: 

• Have out-of-network benefits 

• Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance 

• Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement 

• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!  

Here's how it works: 

1. Sign up for Mentaya: https://mentaya.co/inviteclient/40OJOhRcP3REuBEOfJr5 

2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform. 

3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up. 

4. You get reimbursed by insurance!  

Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.  It's risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.
