Summary

As humans, our natural inclination is to move away from pain. But at a certain point, we may find that the strategies which once protected us are actually causing us even more pain. Through therapy, you can find ways to break old cycles that are keeping you stuck so you can move into the wholeness you desire.
Emma obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and completed her master’s degree at Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta. After graduation, Emma spent over a year as the lead therapist in an intensive treatment day program with a focus on complex trauma and its co-occurring disorders. Her experience there gave her a deep understanding of the ways in which childhood wounds re-emerge in adolescence and adulthood, enabling her to help clients examine their pasts without dwelling on them too deeply.
Emma believes that there is healing in connection, whether it is through shared laughter or shared pain. She values being authentic with her clients in order that they may feel the freedom to do the same with her. She is honest, compassionate, direct, and willing to go to whatever depths her clients feel ready for.
