I’m Emalee. I believe healing often begins when we slow down enough to reconnect with ourselves, including our emotions, our needs, and the parts of us that have worked so hard to keep us safe. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma‑informed, and I strive to create a space where you can show up honestly and without pressure.

I work with individuals (16+) navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, grief, codependency, divorce, body image concerns, spiritual abuse, faith and identity transitions, and relationship challenges. I’m especially drawn to supporting clients who feel disconnected from themselves due to abusive systems, discrimination, and painful relational or spiritual experiences. I understand how easily people can internalize blame or question their reality, and I help clients make sense of these experiences with compassion and clarity.

I am trained in S.A.F.E EMDR, an approach that integrates somatic therapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, and neurobiological regulation. I'm also trained in Lifespan Integration, and I enjoy integrating other modalities such as ACT, DBT, interpersonal and person-centered approaches, and inner child work.

I hold a BS in Psychology from Troy University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I have experience working in treatment centers at the residential, PHP, and IOP levels, and 5 years of experience in private practice. I am a body positive and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. 

I feel privileged to join clients in their work to make sense of what they've been carrying and move toward a more authentic and connected life. If this is what you want for yourself, I would be honored to join you in your healing work.
