Emily specializes in working with children and adolescents around challenges with anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and relational issues. In her work with children, Emily uses play and art therapy as a means of helping children express and process feelings. Her work is eclectic in that it is grounded in psychodynamic theory, and she also judiciously incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive arts therapy, and mindfulness practices. She is trained in a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CF-CBT) approach using art, play, and storytelling to help children process grief and loss of all kinds. Emily also has a strong interest in working with adults around challenges with post-partum issues, parenting, anxiety, grief, and career changes. She welcomes using art therapy with adults as well.
Her Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree from Smith College means that she brings an understanding of children’s wide ranges of educational experiences. She values collaborating and working with the parents and guardians of her clients
