Therapy as unique as you are!
Hello, my name is Emily! I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland and Virginia, and I'm passionate about helping people gain the skills to cope with everyday stressors and life transitions.
My practice focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions ranging from school, work, the perinatal period, and motherhood.
My approach is warm and down-to-earth. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for clients to be themselves. I believe everyone should have access to quality mental health care.
Person-centered
Therapy is a unique and individual experience. I frequently check-in with my clients to measure our progress together and to ensure we are a good fit. No hard feelings if we need to pause or refer out, I understand the struggle of finding a therapist that fits you!
My Approach
Skills and Interventions
As a trauma-informed therapist, I use a blend of trauma-informed Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My clients often say that I leave them feeling empowered about their choices and feeling confident about the next steps on their journey.

It depends! I enjoy long-term work, but the length of treatment depends on the client and their goals. There is no predetermined timeline, and you always have the right to end or pause therapy at any point.
Some indicators that it may be appropriate to wrap up our time together:
You’ve met the goals we set at the beginning of our work together.
You feel more equipped to handle challenges and manage emotions.
You feel confident in applying the tools and strategies you’ve learned without regular support.
You decide that therapy with me does not seem helpful. In that case, I will work with you to find another provider that might be a better fit.
