Emma is a Licensed Mental Health counselor and clinical supervisor. After completing her undergraduate education at Northeastern University, Emma went on to pursue her Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling at Brooklyn College. Emma’s previous clinical experience includes providing individual and group substance use counseling in a hospital setting and working at a Brooklyn based private practice, before opening up her own therapy practice that focuses on creating feasible goals, and sustainable change for the clients that she serves. Emma believes in the power of curiosity to better understand your holistic self, and seeks to gently tap into that in sessions.

In engaging in therapy, one is doing something vulnerable, difficult and at times, joyful. In sessions with Emma, she wants to acknowledge and celebrate that, recognizing that therapy can be a meaningful step to prioritizing self. She is here to support her clients in this process and aims to help them uncover new perspectives, evidence of strengths, self-compassion, and tolerance of distressing emotions. Emma seeks to challenge her clients, helping them dismantle old narratives, enact and internalize new ways of seeing themselves, and combat damaging stereotypes or systems that might be keeping them trapped.

Emma’s areas of clinical expertise and interest include helping clients struggling with  trauma, complex familial relationships, obsessive thought patterns, general and social anxiety, disordered eating, and substance use, among others. In work with Emma, she will take a collaborative and strengths based approach, that feels safe and non-judgemental to continually explore deeper layers of your core self.

Emma feels strongly about providing feedback to clients to help facilitate reflection on maladaptive patterns while fostering a therapy experience that feels vocal, dynamic, and genuine. She emphasizes an individualized therapy approach that emphasizes each individuals’ unique multicultural differences with humility and compassion.

When not providing psychotherapy Emma can be found tending to her vast collection of houseplants, searching for new vinyl records, cooking pasta recipes, and exploring streets of NYC she has never been on
