Emma is a licensed therapist, experienced group facilitator, and avid home cook.

To do this work, Emma completed a Masters Degree and fellowship in clinical social work at the University of Chicago and has practiced for over a decade in mental health care.

Emma believes in the power of imagination, storytelling, and gathering and incorporates a narrative style to support clients in accessing, understanding, and sharing themselves. This is helpful for people who have been disconnected from their inherent worthiness and self esteem by the stress of their lives, mental health needs, and systemic marginalization and oppression.

Emma incorporates narrative and relational therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy through metaphor, art, movement, and mindfulness. She is committed to anti oppressive practice and decolonization in her work. Her clinical values center compassion, curiosity, and creativity to support adults in their relationship with themselves and their worlds. Emma has specific training to support women, LGBTQIA+, artists, and people experiencing chronic pain or health needs.

Emma may be accepting new adult clients in Illinois and is scheduling 50 minutes virtual sessions Monday-Thursday. Therapy services are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO/Blue Choice and United Health Care PPO. Superbills available for out of network reimbursement.
