Meet Emily

 

For over two decades, I have been a student and a steward of the human story.

 

My journey into the healing arts began at the intersection of the soul and the system—first through a Master of Divinity, then a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and ultimately a PhD in Child and Family Studies.

 

These chapters of my education taught me a singular truth: we do not live in isolation. We are deeply rooted in our attachments, our spiritualities, and the complex social constructs of power and equity that shape our everyday lives.

 

As a therapist, supervisor, and professor, I lead with courageous dialogue and radical curiosity. Whether I am working with a couple navigating the fallout of infidelity, an individual deconstructing a lifetime of trauma, or an individual in the midst of life shaking changes needing an affirming mirror, my goal is to create a space that is as respectful as it is transformative.

 

I am deeply committed to evidence-based, depth-oriented work. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move beyond surface-level symptoms to address the relational and neurological roots of their distress.

 

One of the greatest honors of my life is serving as a "healer for the healers." I believe that therapists and pastors deserve the same sanctuary they provide for others—a place where they can lay down the mantle of leadership and find their own path to restoration.

 

When I am not in the therapy room or the classroom, I am often finding my own balance: lifting weights, enjoying live music with my wife, or finding a moment of quiet with a book and my Goldendoodle, Comet.

 

"The healing space that is generated between therapist and client... it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me." 

 

Emily is a clinical member of AAMFT, ICEEFT, ATXEFT, EMDRIA, and a board co-chair for the Contemporary Relationship Conference. 

 

"The healing space that is generated between therapist and client...it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me."

 

Emily serves clients living in South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Florida.
