Mental Health Counseling
for Adults & Couples
in Florida
Restoring Peace. Building Secure Connections.
You don’t have to navigate healing alone.
Relationships are HARD. There’s no instruction manual for navigating conflict, expressing emotional needs, or unlearning the baggage we carry from childhood. If you find yourself overthinking your relationships, struggling with trust, or feeling disconnected from others, know that you aren’t alone.
Therapy provides space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and discover a new path forward - a path that feels more aligned and connected to you!
As an attachment-focused therapist, my goal is to guide you towards a deeper understanding of yourself so you can navigate life with confidence and clarity.

Welcome,I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Emily, your attachment therapist! My passion for helping people began shortly after starting my own therapy journey as a teenager struggling with intense emotions, anxious relationships, and complex family dynamics. I know what it’s like to feel lost and overwhelmed. Therapy has impacted my life in meaningful ways, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you create meaningful change in your life.
With years of education and experience working with adults and couples, I offer a deep understanding of relationship dynamics and practical tools to navigate challenges, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. I blend clinical skills with honesty and humor to create an experience that feels human!
My goal is to guide you toward a deeper understanding of yourself so you can restore peace and build secure connections.

About Me
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Hi, I’m Emily!
I’m a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern with a master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling with a graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of South Florida. Go bulls!
My Approach
Our relationships shape so much of how we understand ourselves and the world around us. Early experiences can influence the beliefs we carry, the way we relate to others, and how we respond to conflict.
I think of the relationship patterns we learn growing up as “roadmaps.” They can shape how we protect ourselves in adult relationships, even when those patterns no longer serve us.
Learning about attachment styles, relationship patterns, and trauma can provide valuable insight, helping you better understand yourself and create your own roadmap—a roadmap that strengthens your relationships with your friends, family, significant others, and, most importantly, YOURSELF.
How I Support My Clients
With attachment theory as the foundation of my work, I also support clients with the following evidence-based approaches:
- Attachment Theory
- Understanding how early relationships shape our emotional patterns, beliefs about ourselves, and connections with others.
- IFS-Informed Interventions
- Understanding different parts of yourself with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
- EFT-Informed Interventions
- Recognizing emotional patterns and strengthening emotional connection, trust, and security in relationships.
- DBT-Informed Skills
- Developing practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication.
- Solution-Focused Interventions
- Building on existing strengths, identifying resources, and taking meaningful steps toward change.
- Somatic and Mindfulness-Based Techniques
- Increasing awareness of the mind-body connection and developing skills to feel more grounded, present, and emotionally regulated.
My Values
Therapy begins with emotional safety.
I value creating a nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and explore the parts of you that feel hurt or scared.
I value your unique experience and spend intentional time understanding your journey because everyone has a different story.
I value connection and believe healing happens through relationships. The therapeutic relationship can create space for honesty, vulnerability, and growth.
I value authenticity and strive to be my authentic self in each session. Being human is what makes therapy special.
My hope is that our time together helps you develop a deep understanding of yourself, your values, and what you need in relationships.
Let’s work together so you can restore peace and build secure connections.
