About

Emily is an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She graduated with her masters at Northern Illinois University in 2020 and got her Bachelor’s degree in Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota in 2018. Emily specializes in working with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and family/relationship conflict and has experience working in both outpatient and inpatient environments. Emily is trauma-certified, Prepare/Enrich certified, and is trained in the Gottman Method. Prepare/Enrich is a premarital assessment tool aimed to help create healthy relationships prior to marriage, and the Gottman Method specifically focuses on increasing communication, intimacy, and creating a better understanding within the context of relationships. Emily believes that being able to openly and honestly communicate and connect with your therapist is one of the best ways to get exactly what you need out of therapy. She has been trained in multiple methods of therapy and believes that every person is unique in what they need from therapy. She strongly believes clients deserves a safe place to be able to express themselves and have someone to help guide them through this process, while encouraging them to become the best versions of themselves. Emily enjoys hanging with her dog, Oliver, in her free time, as well as reading and baking!
