Enter a Safe Space
Emotion Regulation for the Neurodiverse, Anxious, and Depressed Minds
I’m SO Glad You’re Here
If you often find yourself appearing “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, shut down, or emotionally exhausted on the inside — you’re in the right place.
If your mind never turns off — worst-case scenarios, replaying conversations, constant “what ifs” — we’ll work on calming your nervous system, not just your thoughts.
If you’re neurodivergent and have spent years masking, pushing through burnout, or feeling “too much” or “not enough,” therapy here is different.
We’ll work with your brain — not against it.
What you might be needing…
Emily’s heart for therapy is to offer a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can take a breath, step outside the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck, and begin to explore new ways of thinking, coping, and living. Her hope is to walk alongside you as you build tools that truly support your well-being and goals.
Clients under Emily’s care feel valued as she spends crucial time understanding your story, while listening to, empathizing with, and learning about your personal experiences. Emily believes in providing clients with the means of creating lasting change. She has been serving the Fort Worth, Texas community in person and is now based in Frederick, Maryland offering virtual therapy to residents of both Texas and Maryland.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, grief, anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, trauma, or relationship and family challenges, Emily will work with you to build emotional regulation, healthier communication, resilience after loss, and self-empowerment in your internal and external experiences.
Explore new skills to grow.
Life has a way of piling on stress, transitions, and uncertainty — and sometimes it can feel like you’re expected to just “handle it.” But feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.
If you’re anxious, emotionally exhausted, shutting down, overreacting, or simply tired of trying to manage everything on your own, you don’t have to keep doing it alone. Real strength can grow in a space where you’re supported, understood, and given tools that actually fit your brain and nervous system.
Emily specializes in emotion regulation for anxious, depressed, and neurodiverse minds, working with individuals ages 10 and up. She helps clients build practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, improving communication, and strengthening resilience during life transitions.
Because emotional overwhelm often shows up differently in neurodivergent and trauma-impacted nervous systems, Emily takes an affirming, individualized approach. She integrates neurodivergent-affirming practices, DBT-informed emotion regulation skills, trauma-informed care, and grief support — weaving evidence-based strategies with warmth, collaboration, and compassion.
Her goal isn’t to “fix” you. It’s to come alongside you — helping you understand your patterns, strengthen regulation skills, and move forward with greater effectiveness and self-trust.
If you feel too much (or nothing at all), struggle with emotional swings, or shut down under stress, we’ll build regulation skills that are sustainable — not suppressive.
Let Me Guess...
Let Me Guess...
Do others describe you as calm, capable, or “handling it well,” while inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or on edge—constantly monitoring yourself and your environment?
You care deeply about the people around you, yet you often find yourself worrying about how you’re perceived or whether you’re doing enough to be “okay” in others’ eyes.
You’re highly self-aware, but still feel stuck—like you understand why you feel this way, yet can’t seem to regain a sense of control or momentum in your life.
You’re great at anticipating others’ needs, reading between the lines, or masking to fit in—but struggle to identify or voice what you need, especially in relationships.
You put a lot of energy into functioning, coping, and keeping things together for others, yet inside you feel empty, disconnected, or unsure why it doesn’t bring real relief or joy.
You feel worn down by grief, transitions, or emotional labor that goes unseen—like your efforts, pain, or adjustments aren’t fully noticed or acknowledged.
You’re tired of repeating the same relational patterns: feeling misunderstood, emotionally dismissed, or questioning whether your needs and experiences are “too much.”
You’re in Exactly the Right Place.
