Emily is a licensed professional counselor who enjoys working with adults and teenagers on tackling intrusive thoughts, changing unhelpful behaviors, facing fears, and getting into the present moment.
Emily received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Miami, and after graduation she moved to Nashville and obtained a Master of Education degree in Human Development and Counseling from Vanderbilt University.
After completing graduate school, Emily worked in a residential treatment setting specializing in substance use recovery, anxiety and mood disorders, and trauma. In 2018 she began working at Rogers Behavioral Health in their IOP and PHP programs. At Rogers, Emily began working with OCD and related anxiety disorders and received specialized training in CBT and ERP. During this time Emily realized her passion for working with individuals struggling with OCD/Anxiety, and ever since she has continued to train, practice, and refine her skills and knowledge in this area. In 2021 Emily transitioned to NOATC and loves working with this dedicated team of clinicians.
As a clinician, Emily believes therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist. She fosters a safe, non-judgmental space so clients can be seen and heard. Emily utilizes an evidence- based framework, with an emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and self-compassion focused modalities. Using a client centered approach, she relies on a client’s
personal experience and perspective to tailor therapy and help them create a meaningful life aligned with their values.
In her free time, you can find her cheering on her favorite sports teams (especially the Miami Hurricanes!), pretending it’s Halloween year-round with a constant stream of scary movies, reading outside on a sunny afternoon, or curled up with her biscuit-making cat, Davos.
