Individual Services for Children, Teens, & Adults

Emilee’s passion for supporting others in their healing has been curated through a lifetime of personal growth and curiosity about human resilience. From an early age, she studied brain science and self-help strategies, seeking to understand the human experience. Emilee worked in many social service settings between 2009 and 2015, including group home management, mental health agency and child welfare work, offering support and seeing the need for holistic approaches to wellness.

In 2016, learning, practicing, and completing a teacher training in yoga expanded Emilee’s perspective about the connections between mind, body and spirit. The teacher training generated personal healing and ignited a desire to offer space for others to find their peace through mindfulness, movement and breath practices. Facilitating these practices in drug and alcohol treatment programs magnified the benefits of these practices for Emilee, who witnessed profound stress relief and expanded personal insights in program participants.

Graduating from formal education programs in Psychology (2019) and Social Work (2022) equipped Emilee to provide support in other settings and utilize expanded thinking and tools. Somatic practices, such as yoga and mindfulness, combined with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Nutritional Health allow Emilee to invite fragmented pieces of her clients to reintegrate into a more full expression of themselves. Fueled by research in neuroscience and neuroplasticity, she offers empowering education and coaching to individuals seeking profound transformation in their lives.

A parent of 14 and 7 year old boys, Emilee has thoughtfully refined parenting skills to a collaborative and identity-honoring approach to developing youth. Working with kids and the adults who care for them is an honor she accepts with great care. Offering skill-building to generate trust and communication between caregiver and child is central to Emilee’s multi-perspective approach.

This approach includes movement, art, verbal processing, time with nature, visualization practice and spiritual exploration from each client’s unique place in the world. Emilee believes that through acceptance of the fullness of ourselves, we heal and grow.
