“Everyone should have the opportunity to feel heard, seen and safe, and this is something I strive to create within every therapy session. This type of environment is essential for my clients to express, share and have confidence the goals they want to achieve. My goal is to meet clients where they are, provide different perspectives when needed, and build on their abilities to manage life’s challenges independently.
“My clients can expect a calm, non-judgement space free from the expectations or pressure they may feel in their day-to-day lives. I enjoy working with clients collaboratively on their goals and find this to be a key element of successful therapy.”
Emily is trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), strength-based approaches, and motivational interviewing. She focuses on setting achievable goals with clients, ensuring they develop skills to manage stressors, and helping them feel prepared to take on life challenges.
Emily is a licensed clinical social worker with the Pine Rest Telehealth Clinic. She began her career working with survivors of domestic violence and then shifted to outpatient mental health in 2019 after receiving her graduate degree from Grand Valley State University.
