What Emily Loves Most
about Being a Therapist…
I love that I can help people for a living and share with others what I've learned through my own struggles.
A Bit of the Personal
Outside of work, Emily enjoys playing video games, doing arts and crafts, and spending time with friends and family. On the weekends, she loves taking naps to catch up on sleep.
