About

Hi! My name is Emma (she/they). I strive to create a warm and grounded therapy experience for all my clients.

I come to this work with a deep commitment to making mental healthcare more accessible and less stigmatized. My path to becoming a therapist was informed by my work in many settings that focused on moments of human connection. From advocacy work with newly arrived refugees, and teaching early childhood education, to working as a birth doula, I have always cared about supporting connection and growing community.

I gained my MS in Counseling Psychology at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles. Initially, I worked as a therapist at Covenant House California serving unhoused transitional-aged youth (18-25). This strengthened my passion for working with individuals experiencing homelessness. I went on to implement a mental health program with Healthcare in Action (HIA), a street medicine team. At HIA, I provided mental health services to folks on the streets of Los Angeles and spoke nationally about making mental healthcare accessible through street-side therapy.

I continue to dedicate myself to principles of social justice in my therapy practice today. In addition to my private practice, I work at Brave Trails offering low-cost/sliding-scale queer therapy for LGBTQIA+ youth and families.
