In My Own Words

My name is Emily and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.   I was born and raised in South Florida.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and my Master of Science and Education Specialist degrees in Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University.  I moved back to South Florida to be close to family and wouldn’t be who I am today without their love and support.  I enjoy anything creative, art, music, dance, walking through tall trees, reading, and spending time with my family (which includes my dog).   I combine a variety of psychology theories into my approach, but the core of what I do stems from person centered therapy.  When we feel safe, seen, and accepted as we are, then we can change.  Therapy creates a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for you to heal and become the version of yourself you most desire.  Oftentimes we know what to do, but just can’t seem to make it happen with our busy lives and old habits that no longer serve us.  Sometimes our past keeps us stuck in a version of ourselves we don’t like anymore.  I believe the purpose of therapy is to empower those struggling with the insight, knowledge, skills, and resources to not only evolve into healthier people, but to remain strong through whatever life throws at you.  I hope you’ll allow me to guide you on your healing journey.
