About

I like getting to know people and I value support and connection. I have a lot of experience working with people with anxiety and can relate to those feelings. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my family. I like the quote, 'Nothing in nature is rushed, and yet everything occurs when it should.'

It's important to know that during this new difficult process, you will have support. I want to make sure we move at a pace that's comfortable for you.

I’ve been working with Emma for 5 months now and I find her to have incredible skills, knowledge, insight, ability, and compassion as a therapist. Though my progress hasn’t been linear (and, as I’ve learned from Emma, it often isn’t), I’ve progressed. I went from laying in bed most weekends hiding from the world to laying in bed some weekends hiding from the world and some weekends being out in the world engaging in activities I want to be doing. So I’m very thankful for her and for NOCD

Emma is wonderful. Her style of therapy comes from equal parts compassion, kindness, wisdom, and intelligence (in no particular order:). I am progressing much farther along than I expected to and I credit skill and ability to listen and reflect back. I feel so fortunate and grateful to be working with her.

Emma is very skilled — she’s an excellent listener, empathetic, encouraging and kind. She was able to construct a really good “big picture” of me, my OCD concerns and trauma issues that will be important to address. I was impressed by her ability to plan next steps for me, prepare documents, figure out and modify the best approach for my needs as I provided her with more and more of my story—all while listening very carefully. I felt very comfortable and know that I’m in good hands! Thank you.

I was feeling very anxious about a situation. Emma helped me understand how I had a particular way of viewing it. She explained a way for me to perceive it differently which gave me a lightbulb moment. I have been feeling better and empowered ever since!
