Emily’s therapeutic approach is guided by ancestors and spirit. It is art-based, client-centered and somatically informed. She specializes in trauma relief from cultural, racial and diversity issues, women’s issues, birth/birthing, as well as in attachment and early childhood wounding. She draws on her art therapy background, her use of sound, music and voice, her experience as a conscious parent and educator and her own medicine path to help clients build fully integrated experiences.

Emily’s religious and spiritual practice carry her into the depths of the primordial mother. Her connection to source informs her work as a psychedelic guide. She is trained in mindfulness-based practices and often teaches summer camp at Drala Mountain Center.
