Emily has always been drawn to serving others and knew she wanted to choose a “helping” profession. She graduated from Liberty University in 2012 with a master’s degree in professional counseling.

As a graduate intern, she worked at an inpatient substance abuse treatment center. She also worked in a program that provides in-home parenting education and social services. These experiences gave her opportunities to work successfully with people of diverse backgrounds and with a variety of issues. In short, she has loved meeting people, hearing their stories, and partnering with them as a counselor.

Counseling aside, she enjoys going on adventures with her family, hanging out with her dog, reading, traveling, dreaming about traveling, and learning Russian.
