About Emily

My passion for counseling stems from my own experiences and struggles, as well as my belief that mental health should be a universal priority. Everyone experiences times in their life where things may seem unexpected and challenging. My goal in therapy is to help create a warm, empathic, and inviting environment, where clients can feel free to grow and express themselves without the fear of being judged.

 

I have experience and enjoy working with teens, young adults, couples, and families. I have specialized training in ADD/ADHD and Executive Functioning, Postpartum and Perinatal therapy, Career Counseling, Depression, and Anxiety/Stress Reduction. Using evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person Centered Therapy techniques, I strive to help clients achieve their goals. Additionally, I enjoy using aspects of Art Therapy and in my work with teens. Due to my own experiences, I especially enjoy working with individuals going through difficult life transitions such as breakups, divorce, school/ job change. I also have a passion for helping clients find fulfillment in their everyday lives by implementing positive life structure and self care that reduces depression and anxiety. 

 

I received my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate under the supervision of Katie Nix, LPC-S.
