Who I Work With

Therapy for Women on Bainbridge Island and Virtually Across WA State

Midlife Transitions, Identity & Meaning

  • Feeling untethered as roles shift (parenting, career, relationships, even your body)

  • Wondering what matters now, or who you are in this next chapter

  • Navigating menopause, health changes, or a general sense of “this isn’t working anymore”

Feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself, even in the middle of change.

Overdoing, Burnout & Boundaries

  • Doing too much for too many people, and not knowing how to stop

  • Saying yes when you mean no, then feeling resentful or overwhelmed

  • Being the one who holds everything together, at work, at home, in relationships

Slow your pace without losing your drive, and show up for what matters without running yourself ragged.

Relationships & Connection

  • Feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure of yourself in relationships

  • Repeating patterns that leave you feeling unfulfilled or taken for granted

  • Wanting deeper connection, but not knowing how to get there

Experience relationships that feel calmer, more mutual, and more secure.

Other themes I work with:

  • Anxiety, worry, and difficulty relaxing

  • Depression or loss of motivation

  • Chronic stress and nervous system overload

  • People-pleasing and perfectionism

  • Emotionally-immature or narcissistic partners

  • Family-of-origin, attachment issues, and generational patterns

  • Self-esteem and body image concerns

  • Grief, loss, or major life transitions

  • Chronic illness or disability

Hi, I’m Emily

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
20+ years of experience

I’m a therapist for women who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start living with intention.

My work goes beyond surface-level coping. I help clients understand and shift long-standing relational and behavioral patterns, strengthen their sense of self, and reconnect with their deepest values. Through this process, you’ll develop greater psychological flexibility and begin to experience more resilience, agency, and vitality in your daily life.

Through this process, you’ll learn to choose yourself, trust your journey, and find a deeper place of joy, wisdom, and freedom.

Here’s what you can expect:

Instead of endlessly circling the same problems, we’ll look at the deeper forces shaping how you think, feel, and respond. We’ll work on the places where real healing happens, the places that allow you to shift old patterns and start relating to yourself with more clarity and intention.

  • Find joy and self-trust even through major life changes

  • Understand and care for your emotions instead of letting them run your life

  • Set boundaries that protect your time, energy, and health

  • Feel more grounded and less reactive when life and relationships get messy

  • Break the cycles that keep you overworked or disconnected

  • Build self-trust and confidence that hold steady in any season

  • Create relationships that feel mutual, honest, and alive

  • Feel at home in your body and grounded in your worth

  • Rediscover joy, curiosity, and meaning in everyday life

No matter the challenge, therapy with me is about more than talking things through. It’s about understanding your story, clarifying who you are and what matters most, and building the skills to navigate emotions and unhelpful patterns until the pieces of your life start to align.
