As a dedicated mental health professional with a Master's in Education (M.Ed.), Emily aspires to cultivate trusting relationships with her clients, enabling them to show up as their genuine, imperfect selves in therapy.

Emily specializes in working with a diverse clientele, with a particular focus on neurodivergent individuals, women, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are grappling with anxiety and/or depression. Her inclusive approach recognizes the unique challenges faced by these groups and tailors her therapeutic techniques to address their specific needs.

In her practice, Emily emphasizes the importance of partnership in the therapeutic process. She collaborates closely with her clients to determine individual goals for therapy and utilizes a holistic approach to problem-solving. Emily's philosophy centers on the belief that "practice makes progress," encouraging her clients to actively engage in their therapeutic journey.

Emily's ideal clients include those interested in boundary work and individuals working in helping professions, in addition to her core focus areas. Her ability to connect with a wide range of clients speaks to her versatility as a therapist and her commitment to inclusive mental health care.

At Forward Wellness Counseling, Emily offers both in-person sessions at the Squirrel Hill location and telehealth options, providing flexibility to meet her clients' needs.
