Open-Hearted, Evidence-Based Therapy

Hello, hi, and welcome!

My name is Emily, I am a mental health counselor in Seattle Washington offering therapy for individuals, couples, and polyam partners. 

I believe therapy is an essential tool that can empower us to manage the messiness and challenges in our lives. With the proper support, real change is possible for everyone. There is immense value in a space for you to be seen, to process, and to problem-solve. I would be honored to hold that space for you.


Within the therapeutic session, there is room for the full spectrum of emotions. It is my belief that with compassion and awareness, we can explore grief, joy, growth, and the human experience, together. 

Treatment Approach

I utilize a multifaceted therapeutic approach that includes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), feminist theory, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and person-centered therapy.  I specialize in working with people with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, eating disorders, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people navigating polyamory or nonmonogamy. All folks are welcome with me.

Please note that I do not treat people who are actively self-harming, engaging in other parasuicidal behavior, or ambivalent about recovery from substance use or eating disorders, as these concerns are best treated with more support than I can offer at the outpatient level.


Therapeutic Tenets

We are all impacted by systems of oppression and as a direct and intentional result of these systems, some people are significantly more harmed than others. It is of the utmost importance to me to integrate and name the reality of these systems and their impacts on my clients.
