Hi, I'm  Emmalee 

You are welcome here.

I’m honored to be considered as part of your journey through the challenges you’re facing. I believe that every person deserves the most fulfilling life where they are seen, heard, and supported in finding deep satisfaction and joy.

First and foremost, I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and comfortable space. My approach is grounded in an anti-oppressive and feminist framework,
and I welcome curiosity and open dialogue about how this perspective can contribute to your healing goals.

I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to each client, drawing from evidence-based practices including:

• EMDR therapy

• Attachment theory

• Therapeutic writing

• Mindfulness

• IFS- and polyvagal-informed approaches

• Nature-based therapy (offered at a local park or walking paths)

​​

I’m especially passionate about working with:

• Trauma survivors longing for deep and lasting healing

• LGBTQIA+ individuals looking for an affirming, safe space

• Neurodivergent (diagnosed or self-identified) folks seeking answers or support

• Men exploring emotional depth and growth

• Clients who are open to the healing powers of humor—therapy is hard work but we can also have some fun

​​

In our work together, I will meet you where you are and support you in building empowerment and self compassion to navigate whatever life has in store for you.

A little about me:
I proudly identify as a bisexual, neurodivergent woman. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy writing poetry, reading too many books, and spending time in nature.

I earned my Master of Social Work in 2022 from the University of Cincinnati and my bachelor’s degree in education and social policy from Northwestern University in 2016.

​

My background includes work in special education, early childhood education, public health, community mental health, and private practice.
