Hello...

I’m Emilee/Em (she/they), and I’m a neurodivergent (autism/ADHD) therapist who uses a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed approach when working with clients. My priority is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship to give the space and freedom clients need to explore what they’re feeling, to connect with themselves, and to find ways to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of modern everyday life.

Autistic/ADHD

Clinical Therapist

My Bachelor of Arts education was grounded in communication through a professional writing degree with an emphasis in journalism. Years of my professional development were spent focused on cultivating a personal culture of curiosity and a desire to help others tell their stories. From a therapeutic perspective, finding a way to reclaim one’s narrative can be a crucial step to healing past traumatic experiences and discovering new parts of ourselves. I welcome the opportunity to help clients make sense of their life stories in a safe, non-judgmental space. 

 

As someone who’s experienced parental loss, difficult relational dynamics, and late diagnosis of ADHD and autism, I turned to therapy multiple times in my life in for support and insight. While doing that personal work, I realized I wanted to help others through their own healing as I had been supported in mine.  I am enthusiastic about understanding relational dynamics and helping individuals and couples improve their relationships. I love learning more about myself, my clients, and the world at large in professional and personal contexts. I am a part of the LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous communities and welcome the chance to offer a safe space for others in those communities as well. 

 

I am trained in level 1 of the Gottman method, and I specialized in trauma across the lifespan while earning a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University. I utilize an eclectic approach, incorporating evidence-based components of DBT, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and somatic experiencing, depending on what’s best for each client. I believe in promoting and supporting security and autonomy in my work with clients.
