Emily comes from a background in sleep research. While academia and science are still fascinating to Emily, it became clear that they value connection with people most. Emily brings that same curiosity and work ethic from the research lab to the counseling room by constantly reading and learning about the most up-to-date counseling research and getting curious about each client. Counseling is about finding the right goals and treatments for each individual, couple, and family unit, and Emily is excited to help you achieve them!
