Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, SC

About Emily

Emily is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at Balanced Wellness providing in-person services at the Okatie, SC office and across SC virtually. She believes that therapy is most transformative when it feels like a true partnership. Her goal is to provide a warm, grounded space where authenticity and vulnerability are welcome. She specializes in supporting teens, individuals, and couples as they navigate the messy, complex, and beautiful parts of being human.

Ideal Client

Emily loves working with adolescents and adults who feel like they are at a crossroads- such as, battling a constant hum of anxiety, feeling the weight of depression, or struggling to stay afloat during a major life transition. She also enjoys collaborating with those that end up feeling "stuck"—looping through the same relational patterns, family-of-origin hurdles, or identity questions that no longer serve them.

Therapeutic Approach

Emily's approach is simple: to honor your rhythm. She strives to create a safe, nonjudgmental sanctuary where culture, context, and autonomy are always respected. She encourages moving at a pace that feels right, blending evidence-based tools with genuine human connection.
Emily draws from a diverse toolkit, including ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, while often incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic interventions to help you understand your internal world. For those ready to process deeper trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help facilitate lasting relief and healing.
