Hi, my name is Emily

I’m a clinical social worker in Washington State. Having grown up in Portland, OR, I moved across the country in pursuit of my graduate studies, before returning to the PNW in 2020. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, photography, and cooking. 

From a young age, I desired a profession rooted in service to others. My journey led me to New Jersey where I completed a Master of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary and a Master of Social Work at Rutgers University. When I wasn’t in class, I regularly met with detainees at the nearby immigration detention center. During graduate school, I interned as an addiction counselor in Central, New Jersey, then became employed as a men’s trauma group therapist in South Jersey. Upon my return to the PNW, I pivoted to working with adolescents as a therapist at an eating disorder clinic, then as a school counselor.

It is my goal as a therapist to help people feel seen and understood. Our work together would give you the space to explore those 'stuck' feelings and areas, and help you find confidence and hope to keep moving forward.
