MSW, LCSW, CLC

I believe in the power of connection in the healing process – connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. I create a safe space in which to explore those connections and what is getting in the way of healthy and meaningful relationships with yourself and others. My primary specialty is working with trauma and I have also worked with depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, maternal mental health, life transitions, and relationship issues. I believe that the answers are within each person and my role is to help you hear your inner voice, trust it, and have the courage to follow it. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) along with skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing in a variety of settings from the Veterans Administration to community based clinics since 2000. I currently have a private practice in Salida, CO where I primarily work with adults and late adolescents. I also love teaching and I supervise social workers and other mental health practitioners who are working toward their licensure.

Like Emily, I too am a woman, mother, wife and lover of life! I was born in Connecticut and my family moved to Colorado when I was 5 so I consider myself a semi-native. I grew up in the Denver area and then spent much of my adult life as a nomad - cross-crossing the country living in big cities, doing a stint in an off-grid cabin on the side of Pikes Peak and even living in my camper before settling in Salida, CO in 2020. Much of my time these days is spent momming - I have a 6-year old and 18-month old. Otherwise you’ll find me hiking or running on the trails, skiing or snowboarding. I’m a huge believer in community and serve on a few local coalitions and boards. I also love cooking, crossword puzzles and board games.
