Through an empathetic and non-judgmental space for clients Emily allows her clients to explore their thoughts, emotions and experiences in a safe enviroment.
Using evidence-based techniques , including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with creating individualized treatment plans, Emily works closely clients to develop effective coping strategies, enhance self-awareness, and promote positive change. With a warm and supportive demeanor, Emily fosters a therapeutic alliance that encourages her clients to openly express themselves and work towards their goals.
