Meet Emily, M.A., LMFTA LIC# MG61639548

Hi, I’m Emily (she/her) — a licensed marriage and family therapist associate, geek, nerd, wife, cat mom, queer human, and proud Swiftie. These are just a few of the threads that make up who I am. I believe that each of us is a tapestry of identities, experiences, and stories that come together to create something uniquely our own. Therapy, to me, is about honoring all those pieces and exploring how they fit together.

In our sessions, I bring authenticity, curiosity, and a genuine respect for your lived experience. I see therapy as a shared space between humans—not an expert and a client, but two (or more) people sitting together, witnessing and exploring what it means to be human. I don’t claim to have all the answers—especially not about your life—but I do believe in the power of collaboration, reflection, and story to help you uncover them for yourself.

I love working with individuals (Ages 13+), families, and relationships of all kinds—especially those who identify as queer or LGBTQIA+, gamers, geeks, or folxs who feel like they don’t quite fit the mold. My goal is to create a space where every part of you is welcome and seen.

I earned my Master’s in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University Seattle in 2024, where I was trained in the Person-of-the-Therapist (POTT) model. This approach reminds me that therapists are humans, too—with our own stories, wounds, and strengths—and that by bringing our full selves into the room, we can build deeper, more meaningful connections with the people we work with.

My practice is rooted in narrative, family-of-origin, and solution-focused approaches. Together, we’ll explore the stories that have shaped who you are, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and write new chapters that align with who you want to become. Therapy doesn’t have to feel sterile or intimidating—it can be creative, empowering, and even a little bit adventurous.

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, identity exploration, or what feels like your next big “boss battle,” I’m here to support you as you take the next step in your story—with compassion, curiosity, and courage.
