About Me

---

Hi, I'm Emily, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering convenient, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy services and coaching. As a therapist, business owner, wife, and homeschooling mom, I understand what it means to be the person everyone relies on. The women I work with are often successful, capable, and deeply committed to their loved ones. They show up for their families, careers, businesses, and communities, yet beneath all this responsibility, many feel exhausted. They devote so much time to managing others' needs that they've lost touch with their own. This is part of the reason I'm so passionate about providing mental health support, as I've experienced similar challenges myself. I once looked to relationships for validation and later turned to achievements to feel worthy. From an outside perspective, I seemed successful, but internally, my sense of worth was often linked to what I accomplished and how others perceived me. Over time, I discovered that no amount of achievement or approval could foster the lasting confidence and peace that comes from knowing your value independent of what you do for others. Through over 12 years of offering CBT therapy, I've guided clients to understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping them break free from unhealthy patterns. I don't believe the objective is to diminish ambition or compassion; rather, it's about building a life where your worth isn't tied to how much you achieve, produce, fix, or do for others. After all, carrying responsibility is not the issue—losing yourself underneath it is. Imagine what life would be like if your worth didn't hinge on achievement, approval, productivity, or fulfilling everyone else's expectations. If you're ready to stop proving your value and start living from it, I would be honored to help you through my teletherapy services.

I don't believe beneficial change comes from simply discussing problems week after week. Real growth occurs when you gain insight into your patterns and start practicing new ways of thinking, responding, and showing up in your life. My approach integrates evidence-based CBT therapy with practical tools that assist you in moving beyond overthinking, people-pleasing, and seeking validation from others. Together, we will work to build self-trust, enhance your sense of self, and create lasting changes that extend far beyond our sessions. Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and approachable, while also valuing my ability to gently challenge the patterns that keep them stuck. With my mental health support and teletherapy services, you can expect a nurturing environment that fosters personal growth.
