Holistic Therapy

I care about every person I am privileged to work with who they are and what they are facing. There is so much more to therapy and life changing growth than just diagnoses.

My practice is holistic, approaching each person as a body, mind and soul. I meet with those who are facing hardship in relationships, anxiety, life struggles, losses, motherhood, and personal growth in a professional and accepting environment.

Don't be the only one standing in your way!

Client Testimonial

Testimonial Slider

As a mother, the ability to entrust your child as well as their mental health to someone else is hard! I instantly felt a sense of peace when I met Emma and felt good about leaving my daughter in her hands.

She guided my daughter through a tough time with compassion, understanding, and a moral compass. In addition, She helped my daughter realize her value and worth.

Watching your daughter grow and become more confident in her self as well as her decisions, is one of the most amazing things to witness and I owe that to Emma! The amount of admiration I have for Emma is so hard to put into words because I simply can’t express how grateful I am for the person she is!

Mountain Home is so blessed to have her here & I can’t recommend her enough!

Mom of Teenage Girl

Depression seems like a hole that is impossible to climb out of. There are many issues that military spouses and mothers deal with, she was able to focus in on the most debilitating problems.

She had so many useful coping mechanisms that she offered up. She also seemed to know exactly when to just listen. Her own perspective as a wife and mother was invaluable. She was really someone that I felt extremely comfortable connecting with.

I love that she offers online counseling as well. I have recommended many friends to her services and will continue to do so because she is just that good! She knows my history and I feel comfortable that she’s always there if I need her.
