Holistic Counseling

You are not a problem to be fixed.

You already possess an innate capacity for awareness, growth, and healing.

My work is holistic, experiential, and deeply human. Drawing from person-centered, existential, and Gestalt approaches to counseling, I integrate mindfulness and embodied awareness to explore not only what you think, but what you feel, notice, avoid, long for, and experience in the present moment.

Together, we may explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors while also paying attention to the wisdom of the body. Rather than simply talking about change, our work creates opportunities to practice new ways of relating to yourself and your life—developing greater awareness, emotional flexibility, self-trust, and choice.

My approach is also informed by more than twenty years of experience in mindfulness, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Buddhist psychology. These traditions have taught me something that now sits at the heart of my counseling work: meaningful change often begins when we learn to pause long enough to notice what is actually happening within us.

Client Testimonials

“Emmie has been an outstanding teacher - she has successfully taught me skills and methods to deal with all types of challenging situations both in personal and professional life. I believe anyone who chooses to work with Emmie will certainly stand to gain.”

~ Adriano

“I have been extremely blessed to cross paths with Emmie and I have been working with her one on one every week for almost 2 years now! I was referred to Emmie in the fall of 2017 after I had been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder. I was extremely out of balance, disconnected and unhappy day in and day out. I knew I couldn’t go on experiencing life like that, nor did I want to. Every ounce of me was fed up and I realized I had a choice to make. I could do nothing and keep experiencing life as I was, or…I could take a huge leap into the unknown and start working on self-growth.

This is when I met Emmie and my entire life changed in ways I could have never imagined possible. Emmie is an incredible human being, through and through. She is so full of love and light that it radiates from her being. Her passion shines through in her work and you can really feel her desire to help other humans flourish on their journey through life. She holds a safe, non-judgmental container for you to openly share and process anything that is coming up for you. She has offered me tools, insights and nuggets of wisdom that have radically transformed my life. Emmie carries a plethora of wisdom pertaining to wellness, mindfulness, Ayurveda, women’s health, Yoga and much more. If you decide to work with her, you are 100% in great hands. I am forever grateful!”
