About Emily:

Picture
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can
change.”  ~ Carl Rogers

My path to this career has been one that evolved over time.  I began as an elementary school teacher in Liberty School District (outside of Kansas City) in 2001.  Soon after that, I began working on my master's degree in education with a certification in gifted education (K-12).  Teaching identified gifted students was wonderful, but I knew that the work I wanted to do was even deeper than what I could provide through the schools.

This led me to earn a second master's degree in counseling and family therapy.  Currently, I continue to work in the public schools as an elementary school counselor.  I also provide therapy for children, teenagers, and adults in a private practice setting in O'Fallon, MO.  

I specialize in working with identified gifted and high-potential students.  My work in private practice also provides me with the opportunity to work with all students and families dealing with emotional intensity, family transitions, anxiety and depression, Asperger's/high-functioning autism, ADHD, and more.  Please click here for more about the types of individuals that I can help. 

I look forward to meeting and working with you!
