Hi, I'm Emily!

As a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern, I am passionate about creating a supportive and welcoming space where clients feel heard and understood. I believe everyone deserves a safe place to explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences without judgment. I approach each client with empathy, curiosity, and respect for their unique story.

My goal is to help individuals develop greater self-awareness, build healthy coping skills, and work toward meaningful personal growth. To achieve these goals, I draw on multiple therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Overall, I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship and to meet clients where they are in their journey.

I received my bachelor's in biological and social sciences with a minor in criminology from the University of South Florida and am currently pursuing my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.

Starting therapy can sometimes feel intimidating or overwhelming, but I am committed to helping you feel comfortable, supported, and understood as you begin your counseling journey and work toward positive change.
