Emily is able to identify family dynamics and very quickly offer specific suggestions to begin working with a family to achieve their goals. Her parent coaching and suggestions for my own mental health have made a huge, positive, trans-formative impact on my life. I cannot express enough the deep thankfulness I have for the work she has done to help me and my family achieve the best that we can.

Emily was incredibly supportive and helpful during my difficult pregnancy and transition into motherhood. I had a lot of fears about the health of my baby and she helped me to think positively, to prepare for labor and to control my thoughts as a way of easing my anxiety. She has continued to help me create healthy thought patterns for all the stressors of new parenthood. She helped me work through issues around lack of sleep, in-laws and boundary-setting, back-pain, prioritizing tasks, making time for myself and my marriage, and the transition back to work. She always listens compassionately and then not only suggests more positive ways of thinking, but actually helped me practice them. A mother herself, she is nurturing and easy to relate to. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
