Emma's therapy approach is casual, authentic, and straightforward. She's worked in the service industry, politics, and the non-profit machine for 15 years. After burning out, she realized that working in systems wasn't working. She became a therapist because something needed to change. Emma works with clients who are dealing with family and relationship conflict, environmental and exsistential anxiety, identity exploration and coming out. 

Emma has also led trainings on Title IX best practices for victim-survivors in higher education, workplace trainings on LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the service industry, and presented research on gendered communication patterns in relationship building. 

Emma has BAs in Gender and Sexuality Studies and American Culture and Difference studies from the University of St. Thomas, and an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota. 

Emma utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Existentialism, and social-justice lenses in her work. She has experience working with gender and sexuality, phase-of-life transitions, non-monogamy, divorce and co-parenting. She also enjoys working with clients diagnosed with Obsession Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) and avoidant attachment.
