Life looks “good” from the outside, but it feels anything but.

YOU’RE HERE BECAUSE

You’re carrying more than a to-do list — anxiety, expectations, and the pressure to do it all perfectly. Life can feel exhausting, overwhelming, and lonely at times. You’ve tried pushing through and telling yourself you just need to be more grateful. You’ve read the books and listened to the podcasts. You’ve promised yourself you’d stop overthinking, stop snapping, stop caring so much. You’ve worked harder — at being a better version of yourself.

AND STILL YOU FEEL…

  • Constantly on edge, like your brain never shuts off

  • Stretched thin between work, family, and expectations

  • Like you’ve lost touch with yourself and your relationships

  • Weighed down by carrying more than anyone should have to manage alone

  • Wondering if anyone really sees what you’re going through

You don’t need more advice.
You need real support.

Hi, I’m Emily.

I”m passionate about REAL CHANGE for women who carry it ALL

I specialize in women’s mental health, helping driven women navigate anxiety, motherhood, postpartum transitions, relationship strain, and career pressure — so they can feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves again.

Many of the women I work with are carrying the mental load of parenting while managing demanding careers and relationships. In today’s culture of intensive motherhood, it’s easy to feel burned out, overstimulated, resentful, or lost in the roles you’re holding. I support moms facing postpartum anxiety and depression, mom guilt, overwhelm, burnout, identity loss, and the strain this can place on marriage.

Therapy with me is warm, direct, and solutions-focused. We focus on real change now — with real talk and real solutions. I integrate evidence-based approaches like EMDR therapy, couples counseling, and focused therapy intensives when appropriate, helping you experience meaningful progress without staying stuck in weekly sessions forever.

Specializing in…

  • I help driven women feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves again. Therapy with me is warm, direct, and focused on real change — with tools and strategies that actually work.

    Areas I Support Women With:

    • Anxiety & Overthinking – Learn to quiet your mind and manage stress so you can feel more present.

    • Motherhood & Postpartum – Navigate mom guilt, burnout, postpartum anxiety/depression, and the mental load with support and practical strategies.

    • Relationship Strain – Improve communication, deepen connection, and reduce conflict in your marriage or partnership.

    • Burnout & Overwhelm – Find balance, set boundaries, and regain energy in your personal and professional life.

    • Loss of Self & Identity – Reconnect with who you are beyond the roles you play and reclaim confidence and joy.

    • EMDR & Trauma Work – Address past trauma, process intense birth or medical experiences, and experience faster healing through focused sessions or therapy intensives.

    Every session is personalized, solutions-focused, and aimed at helping you feel better now — while creating lasting change for the future.

  • I help couples who are committed to each other and ready to do the work strengthen their partnership with clarity, connection, and practical strategies. Therapy with me is warm, direct, and focused on real change — helping you rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen your bond.

    Areas I Support Couples With:

    • Relationship Strain – Reduce conflict and tension while improving understanding and empathy.

    • Communication Challenges – Learn to speak and listen in ways that create connection, not defensiveness.

    • Trust & Intimacy Issues – Rebuild trust and deepen emotional and physical closeness.

    • Life Transitions – Navigate stressors like career changes, relocation, or major life shifts together.

    Sessions are tailored to couples who value their relationship and want to stay together, with practical tools and strategies designed to help your partnership thrive now — and in the long term.

  • I help women who are ready to process past trauma and experience faster, lasting healing through EMDR therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based approach designed to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic experiences — including birth trauma, medical trauma, and other life events.

    Areas I Support Women With:

    • Birth & Medical Trauma – Process difficult or traumatic experiences related to pregnancy, birth, or medical procedures.

    • Postpartum Trauma & Anxiety – Heal from postpartum challenges, including birth complications, anxiety, or depression.

    • Life Trauma – Address past trauma, accidents, or emotionally overwhelming events.

    • EMDR Therapy Intensives – Focused, extended sessions designed to accelerate healing in less time than weekly sessions.

    • Stress & Anxiety Reduction – Learn to release the emotional intensity of past experiences so they no longer control your present.

    Sessions are tailored to your unique experience, providing a safe, supportive environment where you can process trauma and regain control, confidence, and calm. Intensives are available for women seeking faster, concentrated healing beyond standard weekly sessions.

  • For women and couples ready to do the work and see real change, therapy doesn’t have to take weeks or months.

    I offer focused therapy intensives and extended sessions designed for accelerated growth, deeper healing, and tangible progress — in less time than traditional weekly sessions.

    Who This Is For:

    • Women navigating anxiety, postpartum or birth trauma, burnout, or identity loss.

    • Couples committed to their relationship, ready to strengthen communication, connection, and trust.

    • Anyone seeking meaningful, lasting change without committing to months of weekly appointments.

    Premium Services (Insurance does not cover these sessions):

    • EMDR Therapy Intensives – Full-day or multi-day sessions for accelerated trauma processing.

    • Couples Counseling Intensives – Full-day or multi-day sessions to strengthen intimacy and communication.

      Extended Sessions (75 or 90 minutes) – Ideal for deeper work in a single session without spreading it out over weeks.

    Benefits of Accelerated Therapy & Intensives:

    • Faster Healing – Address root challenges in a concentrated format

    • Immediate Tools – Walk away with strategies you can use right away

    These intensives and extended sessions are for clients who want real change now — not gradual, drawn-out therapy.

    If you’re ready to invest in yourself or your relationship, this is your fast-track path to meaningful results.

In a 15 minute consultation call we will get to know each other better and a chat about what brought you here and what you’re looking for. I’ll answer any questions you have and we can see if we’re a good fit.

Schedule your sessions

Once we decide we are a good match (because you get to shop for therapists too—just like a good pair of jeans), we will get you scheduled. We will meet weekly for the first 4 sessions to get through all the fluff and then get right to the good stuff. After that we can adjust your sessions to fit your life.

03

Experience change

We do the WORK! This is the really beautiful part, the really hard part, the WORTH IT part. We talk goals, we examine core beliefs, examine relationships— we sift through what’s working and what’s not—we work on you. This is the sweet spot!

CLIENT REVIEWS —

  • "Emily is truly one of the best therapists in Grand Island and the surrounding areas. I’ve been to several therapists before, and I always felt like I was just another client. But with Emily, it’s completely different — she truly takes the time to get to know you. She listens so deeply, is incredibly empathetic, and makes you feel safe and understood. She’s also very goal-driven, which I love — you know that when you work with Emily, you’re actually working toward real progress. She has a calming presence, but she will also gently push you to be your best self, in the most supportive way. On top of that, her office/environment is so peaceful and welcoming. It’s honestly one of the most calming spaces I’ve ever been in, and you can feel the sense of peace the moment you walk in. I can’t recommend Emily enough — especially for moms who are feeling overwhelmed, but also for couples or anyone navigating family/relationship challenges."

    — Client A.G., mother of 2 and business owner

  • "Working with Emily has been life-changing. She helped me see the patterns that were holding me back and gave me practical tools to actually change them. I finally feel like I understand myself—and I’m finally moving forward instead of stuck in the same cycles."

    —Business owner and mother of 3

  • "My wife and I were stuck in the same arguments over and over. Emily helped us see the patterns in our relationship and gave us tools to communicate better and really listen to each other. We’re finally feeling connected again—and I didn’t think that was possible."

    —Husband, Couples Counseling Client

  • "Being a mom can feel overwhelming, and I was constantly questioning myself. Emily helped me untangle the stress, guilt, and anxiety I was carrying and showed me how to show up for myself and my family without losing myself in the process. I finally feel more grounded, confident, and capable as both a mom and a person."

    —Stay at Home Mother of 2

  • "Emily has been such an unexpected blessing in my life over the past few months. I’ve always been a little hesitant about therapy, but after a traumatic experience involving dogs this summer, I knew I needed to reach out to make sure I was okay.She truly is as real and honest as her website says—so easy to talk to, patient, kind, and refreshingly blunt in the right ways and at the right times (which I very much need).She genuinely wants to see people learn how to live their best lives."
