MEET EMILY
Pronouns: she/her
Personally Speaking
“Sometimes we worry that coming to therapy means something is wrong. I believe it means something is right. My approach to therapy is compassionate, direct, and authentic and I keep in mind that therapy is not always about problems and unhappiness. Therapy can also be about happiness and contentment.”Emily is a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with quarterlifers and their families in individual, couples, and family therapy. Often her clients find themselves facing more decisions and questions about who they are and what they want out of their lives and relationships than ever before. This is an important time in life when many people ask themselves: How can I feel like what I do matters?
Emily became a therapist because she was asking herself the same questions in her quarterlife, and her experiences through therapy helped her answer them. When she’s not working on what matters in therapy, she is usually spending time with her family, cooking, and hiking in Rock Creek Park with her rescue chocolate lab.
