Sara* is wondering when the last time was that she was thriving?
What helps her feel whole, connected, and authentic is a puzzle she cannot seem to solve.
She pursues her passions but feels there is never enough time and energy to feel successful.
Instead, she feels further down the road of disconnected, scattered, and unclear.
Her emotional intensity often feels like too much for people in her life.
Knowing what to share and what to keep to herself is always confusing.
It leaves her feeling worried she overshared or burdened others with her trauma dumping.
Accomplishing deep friendships and relationships that feel secure and satisfying feels so difficult.
Her desire to be social seems to change with the tides.
Feeling like she is failing is following her around.
She feels powerless against some of the unhelpful patterns she can’t seem to overcome.
She wonders if she is being lazy or irresponsible, but she is giving each day 100 percent.
She knows she needs help but cannot put her finger on how to grow past this.
Isabella’s* goals are big, but her anxiety feels bigger.
Insecurity and self-consciousness seem to have sapped all her confidence.
It breaks your heart to hear how unkind she is when she talks about herself.
Comparisons to other people make her ashamed of her body and insecure about who she is.
She’s spending more and more time alone, isolating herself from the people in her life.
Thinking about the future is overwhelming; planning feels like asking too much.
She wants to overcome these roadblocks so she can be the person she has always wanted to be.
But all that feels helpful is doom-scrolling and sleeping off these hard feelings.
Does she really have the potential everyone talks about?
James* is wondering what happened to the empowered child he raised.
She seems so disconnected.
It’s like she’s always thinking she is at the bottom of the totem pole with her friends.
She’s spending more and more time alone, isolating herself from her friends and family.
The whole family walks on eggshells when she’s around, never knowing what will set her off.
Her emotions are chaotic.
Habitual procrastination and perfectionism keep her trapped in a constant state of anxiety.
Her decision-making seems to be entirely at the mercy of whatever she’s feeling at the moment.
Tears and verbal lashings are just a moment away.
He feels powerless to help.
He’s tried to be patient – to give her time and hope she will come around.
But, every attempt to talk to her always seems to blow up in his face and push her further away.
It’s like nothing he can say or do is ever right, and he feels like he is failing her as a parent.

Hi, I’m Emily.
I specialize in working with emotionally intense teens, adults, and their families at their own pace to help them realize their full potential.
I like to refer to my office as the inside of my client’s brain. They are there to give me the grand tour; I am there to help organize, tidy, and restructure the things that aren’t working smoothly.
Expressive art has been a lifesaver in my life, whether it was in childhood, teen years, or adulthood. I love sharing techniques that help express deep feelings with less effort, make decisions more clearly, and stay on track when life gets difficult.
More than anything, I hope that through our work, my clients understand their unique abilities and needs and feel equipped to get their needs met beyond our work together.
It’s time to create positive and nurturing relationships and permanently silence that inner critic.
It’s a team approach! If you are ready to do the hard work of being present and feeling your emotions, I’m here to guide you with best practices and witness your growth.
