About Emily

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door. If you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” – Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

My work is rooted in the wild, woven with magic, and devoted to the sacred remembering of who we are beneath our conditioning.

I approach therapy as ritual, as reclamation, as resistance. It is a return to the body, to the breath, to the earth, and to the truths we carry in our bones. I hold space for healing that is not only personal, but political—a soul-deep process of unlearning, rewilding, and restoring what late-stage capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and other systems of oppression have tried to sever. I am here to help you remember who you are and find the joy of being in right relationship with yourself as you navigate your relationships with others and systems at large. I am here to help you reclaim your magic. I take my work seriously, but welcome joy and playfulness in my sessions. 

My practice blends clinical tools with ancient ones; comprehensive training in Western therapy practices such as DBT, CBT, and Parts work as well as esoteric practices such as Tarot, astrology, archetypes, and somatic ritual. I use these intuitive practices to help clients access the parts of themselves that exist beyond language and logic. My incorporation of Tarot into my work has been incredibly helpful as a practitioner and for my clients; it is not about prediction, but presence. It invites conversation with the unconscious, and offers imagery that liberates and heals. It is a tool to deepen intuition.

Living on Mt. Hood, I consider the natural world both muse and co-therapist. The land teaches me how to listen, how to slow down, how to trust. I guide clients into right relationship with nature as mirror and medicine, using ritual, seasonal cycles, and earth-based practices to support nervous system regulation, spiritual insight, and deep belonging. I am comforted by the woods I live in and my partner and I are always exploring new hikes.

“Inside each of us is the Maiden who dreams, the Mother who nurtures, the Queen who leads, and the Crone who knows.” - Unknown

As my personal practice has deepened, I have become more connected with nature, the four feminine archetypes—Maiden, Mother, Queen, and Crone—have become central to how I work. These archetypes live in all of us, regardless of gender, and I help clients reclaim the wisdom and power of each one. Whether you're navigating a transition, grieving a former version of yourself, or stepping into something new, these archetypal lenses offer profound insight into your inner landscape. With this work comes grief and I have been easing into my work as a grief doula. There is no healing without grief and although we must do our own work, we do not have to do it in isolation.

Somatic therapy is woven through every session, whether through breathwork or movement. I work with the body as oracle and storyteller, using yoga (primarily Hatha) and movement-based practices to support trauma healing and embodiment. “Movement as medicine” isn’t just a phrase for me—it’s a lived philosophy that honors the body as both sacred and sovereign. As a yoga practitioner for the past 22 years, it has become a core part of my identity and a deep passion to share with others.

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced” – James Baldwin

I am deeply aware of how oppressive systems shape our mental health. I hold an anti-capitalist, trauma-informed, and liberation-focused lens in my work. Therapy with me is not about fixing what's broken, it is about honoring what's been adaptive, protecting what's sacred, and reimagining how we relate to ourselves and the world. Healing is resistance. Rest is a spell. Boundaries are sacred. Community is part of the cure.

Though I’ve spent years walking beside clients one-on-one, I feel called toward collective spaces of healing—toward circles, ritual, and connection. I believe in therapy that’s rooted in soul and soil, in justice and joy. I believe in your right to take up space, reclaim your voice, and live a life shaped by your own values, not someone else’s expectations.

When I’m not in sessions or teaching yoga, my partner and I are finding new hikes each weekend and spending time with our dogs, Hattie and Cheese. I am a huge foodie and love exploring new foods and baking delicious treats.
