Care Offerings

Individual Therapy

Emma is an experienced therapist and partner in self listening offering individual therapy services for people experiencing stuckness, stress, overwhelm, despair, anxiety, frustration, and shame. We partner to identify concerns and barriers, tend to painful and vulnerable emotions, build and experience relationships, and carve pathways to connect with yourself in daily life. This means more groundedness, ease, trust, and confidence to live your most meaningful life. Read more about Emma’s approach here and on Psychology Today.

Kitchen Companion

Do you open your fridge and not know where to begin? Are you overwhelmed by the effort to feed yourself? Unable to notice or avoid hunger queues? Experience decision fatigue or unable to follow a recipe? Get defeated making a grocery list?

Emma is a seasoned kitchen companion helping people build sustainable nourishment strategies, kitchen skills, and confidence. This can look like exploring barriers and food rules, learning component cooking and following recipes, building a pantry or freezer for seasons of burnout, and identifying preferences and support people to keep you fed when your attention and efforts are elsewhere. This can be in addition to individual therapy or as an adjunct support.

Gatherings: Group Therapy, Workshops, and Events

Inspired by their personal, experiential cooking practice, Emma creates spaces for people to gently connect with themselves and others through food, meal making, and gathering. Emma facilitates unique mindful cooking experiences in group therapy, events, and workshops. Participants can expect a guided cooking experience, an overview of mindful awareness, therapeutic metaphor for self reflection, and dynamic discussion.

Emma partners with care and justices spaces to host group therapy for relationship with food, body, and cooking or workshops for continuing education, team and relationship building, and kitchen confidence and joy. Explore our event archive here and complete this form for group inquiries!
