Hi, I’m Emma.

Meaningful change happens when you feel truly seen, understood, and supported.

I combine research-based, proven techniques with a deep respect for each person’s path. I am passionate about working collaboratively with people to help them navigate challenges, better understand themselves, and create meaningful change.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or seeking greater clarity and connection, I’m here to help you move toward the life you want—one that feels more intentional, authentic, and whole.

You deserve to sleep well.

LGBTQ+ Therapy

Therapy should be a place where you don’t have to filter yourself. Here, you can bring your whole self—your identity, your relationships, your questions—and know that you’ll be met with understanding and care. Together, we’ll work through challenges, celebrate growth, and help you build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling—on your terms.

Trainings & Clinical Supervision

Elevate Your Clinical Practice

With 15 years of experience across community mental health, UC Berkeley research, and Two Chairs, I provide professional development that is as practical as it is rigorous. Having trained over 800 clinicians across California, I specialize in bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world therapy.

I offer tailored support for:

  • Individual & Group Supervision: Empowering therapists at all levels to build confidence and clinical precision.

  • Organizational Consulting: Strengthening clinical impact through program development and evidence-based strategy.

  • Specialized Workshops: Expert training in CBT, ACT, and Attachment, with a focus on LGBTQ+ and non-monogamous affirming care.

Interested in working together? Let’s connect.

“I am so grateful for my time with Emma! Literally the best therapist I have ever worked with. She always listened, let me make my own decisions, and didn’t place any judgements or biases on me. She always made me feel empowered and capable of taking on the difficulties of life. She is amazing at her job and I so wish we could still be working together.”
