Virtual Therapy for people in Texas, Arizona, & Alaska
If you’re someone who often puts others first, is on the verge of burnout, overthinks every interaction, or struggles to speak up for yourself, therapy with Emily can help you trust your intuition again, set better boundaries, and build romantic relationships that feel secure & authentic.
the core of my work is helping people rebuild a relationship with themselves rooted in self-compassion, self-trust & authenticity.
You constantly put others’ needs above your own, even at the cost of your own happiness
You overthink every conversation or worry endlessly about how others perceive you
You struggle to speak up, set boundaries, or say “no” without massive guilt
You grew up with emotionally unavailable or immature parents and learned to manage others’ feelings
You’ve been stuck in toxic or unfulfilling relationships, or find yourself drawn to them repeatedly
You want deeper, more authentic relationships but don’t know how to ask for what you need
You are constantly worried about making anyone upset because you are terrified of conflict
If this is you…
…then you’re in the right place!
Therapy here is about slowing down, understanding how your past shaped your patterns, and learning how to stay connected to yourself without losing connection with others.
Welcome, I’m Emily!
As a trauma & multi-cultural informed therapist, I deeply understand that our patterns are deeply informed by our upbringing, culture, and past relational trauma or complicated relationships. Oftentimes our earliest memories can tell us so much about what we are still carrying.
I want you to know you don’t have to carry it all by yourself anymore. My approach is warm, collaborative, and real. You won’t feel like you’re being “analyzed,” and instead, talking to someone who actually cares. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that once kept you safe and helped you survive, but is now actually keeping you stuck. My favorite thing ever is seeing you reconnect with your authentic self— and start doing the things you always thought you were “too” anxious to do.
I would never ask you to do something I don’t practice myself, and I personally know how life changing this work is. I can’t wait for you to experience it!
☻
People Pleasing Recovery
Learn to stop putting everyone else first (while you’re last on your own priority list) and reconnect with your own needs. Build self-worth from within — without overgiving, self-abandoning, or constantly seeking external validation.
I need help with…
❋
Anxiety
Understand and soothe your anxiety, learn to trust yourself, and find more calm and confidence in daily life. You’ll learn how to build a healthier relationship with your anxiety, rather than letting it control your life and thoughts.
✦
Relationships & Dating
Build secure, authentic connections without losing yourself. Heal anxious attachment wounds and learn to show up fully as you. You’ll also develop healthier communication skills, learn to resolve conflict directly, and express your needs with confidence.
✿
Family & Cultural Dynamics
Navigate family-of-origin dynamics that may be contributing to feeling lost in who you are. As a first-generation American, you might feel torn between honoring your parents and creating your own path. You’ll learn to find your authentic voice and create healthy boundaries that truly work for you.
The longest relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself

FAQs
-
I currently accept Aetna & UHC insurance. Please read FAQ below to learn more about out of pocket rates and OON benefits.
-
My standard rate for a 1:1 50-minute individual therapy or coaching session is $175.
-
I have partnered with Thrizer who will submit out-of-network claims to your insurance company at no cost to you (or work on your end)! *Please note that using OON benefits means you are responsible for full payment upfront of $175.
Then, if you have out-of-network benefits, insurance plans will typically reimburse you for 60-80% of the therapy session cost (once deductible is met, if applicable).
If you decide to submit your own out-of-network claims, I can provide a superbill to you, which you will upload online to your insurance company. Once they receive this, they will mail you a check for reimbursement.
I encourage you to call the number on the back of your health insurance card listed under Member Services.
You can ask them the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage? Am I able to use these benefits for telehealth?
What is my out-of-network deductible?
How much of my deductible has been met this year?
Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?
What percentage of outpatient psychotherapy sessions are covered per session?
How much will I be reimbursed for a 53 minute psychotherapy session (CPT code: 90837)?
How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement?
How long does it take for me to receive reimbursement?

Under my therapy license I can only work with residents of Texas, Alaska or Arizona. You must live in the state I am licensed in for us to work together.
My coaching services can be provided worldwide!

Before scheduling a session, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if working together feels like a good fit. It’s casual and low-pressure & just a chance to connect and get to know each other a bit!
• I’ll ask you about why you’re seeking therapy (or coaching!)
• I’ll tell you a bit about myself and my approach as a therapist
• You can ask me any questions that I didn’t cover
• We’ll talk about rates, insurance, availability, etc.
From there we can go ahead and book a first session directly on the call or you can have some time to think about it. These calls are completely zero pressure, I genuinely want you to feel like it’s a good fit for you.

We’ll typically meet weekly or biweekly, depending on your needs and what feels most supportive. Starting off with more consistent sessions helps us build trust, get to know your story, and begin making meaningful progress toward your goals.
In our first few sessions, I’ll ask thoughtful questions to really understand your experiences; especially around things like anxiety, people-pleasing, family dynamics, or anything else that’s bringing you here. From there, we’ll get clear on what you want out of therapy and create goals that actually feel aligned with who you are and what you want for your life.
Our sessions are a mix of reflecting on the past, noticing patterns, making space for all parts of you, and learning practical tools to navigate challenges in a way that feels empowering.
Therapy can be vulnerable & also life-changing. Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes it’s emotional. And sometimes, we’ll laugh together too!! You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. I’ll walk with you as you learn to trust yourself more, unlearn old patterns, and come home to the version of you that feels the most real and grounded.
