Hi, I'm Emma (she/they)! I'm a strong believer that our bodies hold inherent wisdom and that they are trustworthy. I also believe that the stories we tell ourselves shape our realities, and that therapy is a unique and powerful exploration of those stories. I dream of co-creating a therapeutic environment where you can take up space, breathe a sigh of relief, and be courageous in your exploration of yourself. I utilize a somatic parts work approach, with a foundation in embodiment and the impacts of our developmental experiences. I’m also a brainspotting practitioner, and utilize this modality to support somatic trauma processing. View 5 Photos As a fat and queer person, my work is influenced heavily by my values in anti-racism, anti-capitalism, queer and intersectional feminist theory, fat liberation and disability justice. My approach is direct, collaborative and relational, and our work together will be trauma-informed, sex-positive, embodied, and client-led. I have a special interest in working with clients who are: curious about themselves and the world; longing to feel at home in their body; seeking relief from perfectionism or from unhelpful habitual cycles; interested in deconstruction work; navigating religious trauma or purity culture; or hoping to build stronger, richer relationships.
