About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 22 years of experience counseling adults and adolescents in the state of Indiana. I believe in the practice of "unconditional positive regard," meaning I will never be judgmental or shaming during my time with you. Instead, I will be sincere, engaging, supportive and encouraging you in your journey towards a better you.
My experience in counseling includes those with Depression, Grief, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, ADHD, Asperger's, Behavioral and/or School Issues, Relationship issues, Abuse (sexual and domestic), Shame-based Family of Origin issues, Co-Dependency, and Addictions. With teens, I have largely worked with teens who have emotional/behavioral issues in school, the Foster-Child system, the family of origin system, and legal system.
In therapy I use a blend of Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral therapies, which focuses on how our thinking, feeling, and behavior can drive dysfunctional living, and
conversely, how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be changed to produce a healthier, productive lifestyle. To that end, in addition to talk therapy, I use didactic, experiential, and the use of parables to help facilitate your progress. The use of "homework" I find keeps clients engaged in the therapy process while not in session.
With teens, I like to focus therapy on identifying emotions driving behaviors, building structure, and healthier ways of managing feelings and emotions through the use of homework specific to their issues. This would include ADHD exercises, anger identification and management, coping skills, relationship building, healthy communication exercises, as well as structure building.
If you choose to work with me, together we will make a plan of treatment based on your goals for seeking treatment, and I will walk with you every step of the way.
I am fully aware you have tried everything else before walking through the virtual door and I respect you for your courage in seeking help at this time.

Written on Apr 22, 2024 after therapy with Emily for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and grief

Emily is very friendly and put me at ease immediately. I've had a host of bad counselors before, the most recent of which I had just fired the day I was matched with Emily. She listens and understands and doesn't try to tell me how I feel or make me feel worse for struggling with my emotions. I'm comfortable enough with her that I'm willing to open my proverbial Pandora's box with her, whereas with other counselors I would quit at this point because that box needed to stay locked and chained and in a faraway corner. With Emily I feel safe to open it and we're getting close to that point so I can finally get some relief and "do the full job" of therapy.

Emily is the best. Hands down. She genuinely cares for her patients and has always made me feel at home in our sessions. She’s helped me learn so much about myself and worked with me on things no other therapist has. She does the deep digging that’s helped me grow and gave me the guidance I needed to make it through hard situations.

Emily has played a huge part in helping get my life turned around for the better. She is so caring and patient with you as you talk through things. Joining teen counseling and having Emily as my therapist has changed my life more than I could have imagined.

She's very fair, unbiased, and objective. I like her conversational approach and is very encouraging.

Written on Jun 22, 2023 after therapy with Emily for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd

Easy to talk to from the start. Even in the first session she asked just the right questions to make me have one of those "aha" moments. That's a sign of a good therapist in my opinion..... really getting someone to 'see' their own stuff.

Written on Jun 07, 2023 after therapy with Emily for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and career difficulties

Speaking with Emily feels more like speaking with an aunt or someone you look up to than it feels like being in "Therapy". She does not miss a thing and even when I first met her and told her about a confusing work experience involving many people, she kept track of the name of each person and what happened. She listens very actively and anything she says is very specific to what I was speaking about. She helped me go from trembling anxiety/Depression/Xanax to being happily employed with a job where I have set boundaries for myself & my employer and I make time for myself & enjoy my life and family again. I am very grateful to her.

First and foremost Emily listens. No judgement, no pretense to a solution, Emily listens.
I realize there is a process to therapy and Emily allows for me to take that journey while providing support and empathy. I enjoy our discussions and the homework she has me do along the way. It's not easy at times, but it's all focused on helping me process towards my goals.
Since starting with Emily I've been sleeping better just being able to have someone I can send a note to and get anything off my chest. She's responsive and I would recommend her.
