Hi, I'm Emily, and I'm glad you're here!

I work with clients in North Carolina and specialize in online therapy for young adults and adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, difficult family relationships, and big life transitions. My go-to approaches to therapy include EMDR, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, among other approaches.

 

...and then there’s books.

​

I use bibliotherapy to bring books, poetry, song lyrics, and even elements of D&D into our sessions. I’m particularly well-versed in fantasy and romantasy, and I love exploring what the stories we connect with might have to say about our own lives. Sometimes a character puts words to something you couldn’t explain. A fictional journey can make you look at your own a little differently. Maybe you've had the experience of finishing a book thinking, "Well, that hit a little too close to home..." (Looking at you ToG 👀) If you're a reader, you already know what it feels like when an author totally nails it. With bibliotherapy, we can look more closely at why that feeling is showing up.

​

My clients describe me as warm, honest, and easy to talk to. I especially enjoy working with people in those tricky in-between stages of life like starting college, figuring out your first career, navigating relationships, becoming a parent, setting boundaries with family, or simply realizing that the life you thought you wanted doesn’t quite feel like yours.

​

You might be experiencing that strange “Wait… am I doing this right?” feeling. Therapy can give you a place to slow down, untangle what’s going on, and figure out what you actually want. I also work with adults who are still feeling the effects of childhood experiences or complicated family dynamics and want to understand those patterns.

​

I provide virtual therapy throughout North Carolina, including Raleigh, Charlotte, Durham, Asheville, Boone, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Wilmington, and surrounding communities.

​

Outside of therapy, I’m usually reading, playing fetch with my two dogs, Major and Indy, watching reality TV, cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs, or attempting to perfect homemade cinnamon rolls. 

​

If this sounds like the kind of therapy you’ve been looking for, reach out for a complimentary consultation. We can talk, see if we click, and go from there.
