About

Emily is a psychotherapist and educator who is honored to witness the innate intelligence of her clients and students daily. She believes this inherent wisdom flourishes when supported by the right conditions and she is inspired by the potential for groups of people to create such conditions - allowing access to wholeness and full health for all.

Emily completed graduate programs in Clinical Social Work and Childhood Education. She has also pursued deep study in mindfulness, trauma resolution, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Emily has taught, designed curriculum, and consulted for the New York City Department of Education, Montgomery, Alabama Public Schools, the Ajo, Arizona Unified School District, and various youth organizations. She lives in Southern Arizona where she integrates trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, anti-oppressive, and restorative approaches into her work with individuals as well as in schools, healthcare, and independent projects. Emily is thankful for the support she continues to receive from extraordinary teachers and mentors.
