About me

Hello and welcome!
My name is Emily and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I first want to commend you on reaching out; the process of finding a counselor or therapist can be daunting, and I appreciate your willingness to give this a try.
My overall style of therapy is relationship-based: I believe the therapeutic relationship can be one of the most effective vehicles for change and growth. I use specific interventions from different theoretical approaches tailored to you and what you want to focus on. I find that this approach is especially helpful when working with couples, because in couples therapy the "client" in the room is really the relationship between the two of you. My general focus in couples therapy is on communication, because communication differences/problems are often the underlying cause of relationship issues. My role as a couples therapist is primarily as facilitator: my promise to you is to create a safe, nonjudgemental, and confidential space for you to be exactly who you are, and to ensure both of you are being heard and respected in our sessions as we work toward your relationship goals. I look forward to meeting you!

Emily has been great. We feel she understands us as individuals and as a couple. She creates a comfortable and open space to discuss our conflicts and ideas. She is also patient, knowledgeable, and adaptable, she will utilize different approaches to fit our needs. We honestly look forward to our sessions each week and would refer any of our friends to her.

Emily is an excellent therapist. Thoughtful, kind, and a great listener. The best couples therapist we’ve ever worked with!

I was a bit hesitant to start therapy mainly because I was nervous about sharing deeply personal things with someone who wasn’t the right fit for us and then forced to start the process again. We went for it anyways.
I don’t know if we just got extra lucky but Emily is truly everything I would want in a therapists. She is kind and understanding. She is very encouraging and complementary when needed. She never takes a side, rather eagerly listens to both. She is also very honest and upfront which I truly appreciate. With her help we have been able to really hear each other, find humor, understanding, and compassion again in our relationship in just a few months. If you are willing to put the work and thought into therapy, Emily will help you.
I cannot recommend her enough and honestly feel very fortunate to have her helping us navigate this crazy life.
