Meet Emilie

Hi there, and welcome! Whatever brought you here today, I’m so glad you came.

I became a counselor in midlife because I love to walk alongside children and adults as they find healing and joy. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, meaning I believe stories from our past impact our present and future. I offer a steady, encouraging presence to help you navigate discomfort and find hope. I am licensed in the state of Wisconsin and work under the supervision of Stacy Knoll, LPC.

Using the Townsend Competence & Character Model as a foundation and insights from my work as a certified Enneagram coach, I help clients build strong relationships, set healthy boundaries, and develop a sense of self and purpose.

If you're here on behalf of a child, you've come to the right place. As a former teacher with an MEd in K-12 Literacy, I know firsthand what kids experience at home and school. Over two decades, I've taught elementary school, written curriculum, and mentored teachers. As a mother of three compassionate kids (now teenagers!), I know what it's like to go through challenging phases, and I have huge hope for change.

Outside of my work, I'm a musician, gardener, artist, and novice cross country skier. I love to laugh, and I am SERIOUS about play.
