Hey, there. I’m Emily. For the last decade-plus, I’ve been highly-focused on disrupting unhealthy patterns in myself and my relationships that were born from inherited relational trauma and social/cultural blind spots. My need to establish new norms that reflect emotional health, clear boundaries, and a consistent pursuit of living in alignment — a.k.a. actively living my values — has made this hard work both essential and deeply worthwhile.
I’m also an able-bodied, educated, white woman from New England, and I possess a fuck ton of privilege as a result. I’m actively learning about how to become a less harmful white person, and have been humbled to learn about and confront the damage whiteness causes.
I view emotional healing work through a lens of collective healing, which means that I believe that if we do the work to heal ourselves internally and in our relationships through communication, boundaries, and aligned living, that we can then effect real social change — the kind that tells the truth even when it’s hard, and supports, protects, and values all people.
This is the work I now bring to you.
I’m a certified transformation coach, trained group facilitator, and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). I’m also a published writer, and have had many pieces published and translated.
Three things I’m proud of:
Doing the internal emotional work required to quit using booze and pills as numbing agents (aka, getting sober.)
Giving birth at home to two of the all time greatest teachers and loves of my life.
Working like hell to stay married to a dude I really love and who really loves me.
Let’s connect.
x.
Emily
