Emily is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Ohio with a deep passion for walking alongside individuals on their personal journey toward healing and growth. She is dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can express, process, and move forward with greater clarity and strength.

Emily is currently completing advanced certifications in Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapy (DARTT) and Sex Addiction Therapy (CSAT). These specialized trainings allow her to address the complex needs of those navigating addiction, betrayal, and relational trauma. As an addiction specialist, she provides compassionate and targeted care for both betrayed and betraying partners.

Client safety and comfort remain at the center of Emily’s work. She values authenticity in the therapeutic relationship and is passionate about helping people develop deeper self-understanding. While her foundation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches, she integrates other evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
