More about Emily

I became a therapist after experiencing trauma in my own life. I know how valuable therapy can be in helping you navigate difficult situations. My approach to treating OCD is one of compassion and understanding. I hope to make specialized OCD treatment more accessible. I have experience treating trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use, which I believe makes me more sensitive to people with OCD; these conditions can occur together. The most gratifying part of my job is helping members rediscover joy.

Good experience

I can confidently say that working with Emily has been unlike any other therapy experience I’ve had. For the first time, I truly feel like I’m uncovering parts of myself and gaining insight in ways I never have with previous therapists. Her ability to create a safe, supportive space while challenging me to grow has been incredible. I’ve felt more connected, more reflective, and honestly like a new version of myself. What I’ve discovered in this process has been something I didn’t know was possible through therapy. I’m beyond grateful to have found her and the NOCD community.
