She works with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum concerns, mood disorders, personality disorders, body image issues, grief, and general life stressors.

At Launch IOP, Emily helps young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, avoidant, or uncertain about how to move forward into adult life. Her work is especially relevant for young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family conflict, identity development, grief, self-image concerns, and the emotional challenges that can make independence feel difficult.

Following graduate school, she completed a two-year clinical fellowship at The Lovett Center and a two-year psychodynamic psychotherapy training at the Houston Center for Psychoanalytic Studies.
