The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.
Hi, I’m Emily
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor–Associate specializing in OCD, anxiety, and trauma.
If you feel stuck in intrusive thoughts, constant worry, or patterns that don’t seem to respond to traditional talk therapy, you’re not alone. Many of the individuals I work with are highly motivated but feel caught in cycles that are difficult to break.
I use evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), EMDR, CBT, and DBT, to help you respond differently to thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that creates real, lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and structured, so you don’t just talk about what’s happening; you learn how to move forward.
Professional Development
Training & Credentials
I have completed advanced, specialized training in the leading treatments for OCD, anxiety, and trauma:
- EMDRIA-approved training in EMDR
- Intensive training in ERP, interoceptive exposure, and anxiety treatment through the University of Pennsylvania CTSA
- Advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
These approaches are considered gold-standard treatments for the issues I treat.
Clinical Focus
I primarily work with individuals experiencing:
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and intrusive thoughts
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
My work is focused and specialized so that you receive the most effective treatment possible.

Let’s Get Started
The first step is a consultation where we can discuss what’s been going on and determine whether this approach is the right fit for you.
Evidence-Based Approaches
I use specialized, research-supported treatments to help you move out of stuck patterns and create lasting change. Each approach is tailored to your specific needs.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and anxiety. It helps you gradually face fears and reduce compulsions so you can regain a sense of control and freedom.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a highly effective approach for processing trauma and distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, stress, and emotional distress.
DBT-Informed Skills
DBT provides practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating difficult situations more effectively.
A More Active Approach to Therapy
This is not just talk therapy. Our work together is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you respond differently to thoughts, emotions, and experiences so you can move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step but you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
If you’re ready to move forward, schedule a consultation, and we’ll talk about what’s been going on and how I can help.
