Hi there, I'm Emily!
I utilize Reality Theory in my practice and work on the belief that if our needs are not being met, we often find distress. My goal is to help clients decrease their distress and process experiences in a way they can feel more empowered and whole. I utilize EMDR, DBT, and hypnotherapy to help clients heal from trauma and find hope in their world.
My focus
I have worked a lot with trauma, abuse, neglect, and religious trauma; I have seen it all. This can also lead to working with symptoms of depression and anxiety as well. I have a lot of experience helping people cope and move away from distressing symptoms.
My approach
My foundation is based on Reality Therapy, the idea that there are five basic needs, and if one of them is not being met, distress occurs. I work with my clients to see how those needs (survival, love & belonging, power, freedom, and fun) can be met and find ways to cope with and decrease distress.
