Specialities
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts (ERP)
OCD is not just about being organized or worried. It can involve unwanted thoughts, checking, reassurance-seeking, mental reviewing, contamination fears, relationship doubts, harm fears, “just right” feelings, or avoidance. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a structured and evidence-based treatment that helps you face uncertainty without relying on compulsions to get relief.
Panic, Health Anxiety & Fear of Physical Sensations
When your body feels unsafe, anxiety can take over quickly: a racing heart, dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea, numbness, or the fear that you are losing control. Using CBT and interoceptive exposure, we work gradually and safely to help you stop fearing anxiety itself, reduce avoidance, and regain confidence in your body.
Trauma & PTSD (EMDR)
Trauma can leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy and use EMDR to help you process distressing experiences, reduce their emotional impact, and move toward greater calm, connection, and confidence at a pace that feels right for you.
Hi, I’m Emily
I specialize in helping individuals who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the lasting effects of trauma.
If you’ve tried to manage it on your own only to feel more overwhelmed or frustrated you’re not alone.
Many of the clients I work with are highly motivated but feel caught in patterns that don’t respond to traditional talk therapy. My approach is different.
I use evidence-based treatments, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety, and EMDR for trauma, along with CBT and DBT strategies. These approaches are structured, active, and designed to create real, lasting change.
I’ve completed intensive EMDR training through an EMDRIA-approved program and am a Certified Ex/RP Therapist through the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety (CTSA).
Therapy with me is both supportive and direct. We’ll work together to understand what’s happening and help you respond in a new, more effective way.
