Hi, I’m Emily!

I help smart, sensitive people rewrite harmful stories from the past, tame anxiety, and live with more peace and confidence.

I specialize in supporting Exvangelicals, religious trauma survivors, Purity Culture dropouts, and people in faith transition or deconstruction.

I’m certified in EMDR Therapy to help you heal and reduce trauma responses so you can embody your values, not your past.

My practice is currently full and I am not accepting new client consultation calls until June 2024. Please see Fees & Info for referrals.

Anxiety and Trauma Therapist working with clients across California, Idaho, and Florida.

You’ve spent your whole life trying to make other people happy, but you’re exhausted.

You held your family together by fixing all the things that other people didn’t notice were broken, but they never ask what you need.

You were a true believer, the golden child, a church leader, and the one everyone relies on, but anxious thoughts keep you up at night.

You’ve always been “the good one,” but now you’re so overwhelmed that all you can do is numb out with wine and scrolling on your phone every night. Is this all you get for doing everything right?

My favorite clients are just like you, and you don’t have to keep living this way. It’s time to re-write your story, heal trauma, and move forward.
