It is Emily’s personal belief that all individuals have the potential to grow and the capability to change. She believes it is imperative that the family plays an active role in the treatment of children. Emily enjoys securing a collaborative relationship with children and their families. She will work together with families to determine the plan and goals for the counseling process that best fits the needs of the child. Building strong, trusting relationships with caregivers and their children is at the foundation of what Emily does. Emily creates a non-judgmental, emotionally supportive therapeutic environment where the child and their family can build trust and foster their internal capacity for growth and change.
