Hey, I’m Emmalyn!

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and Art Therapist dedicated to empowering individuals on their healing journeys. With a background in person-centered and humanistic approaches, I strive to foster a warm, empathetic environment where clients feel heard and valued. I also integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic techniques through guided drawing to offer a unique path to processing trauma and accessing inner resilience. I am dedicated in building a strong rapport while meeting the diverse needs of my clients, creating a tailored approach that resonates with each individual. With a passion for creativity and self-expression, I guide clients towards holistic wellness, embracing the transformative power of art in healing within adolescents and adults.

In art therapy, I focus on the art process to help clients immerse themselves within the art materials to access a cathartic experience. I use the combination of art and discussion as a way to help one access self-discovery and awareness along with gaining self-confidence and knowledge. I also use mindfulness within my approach to help ease daily stressors and anxiety while allowing one to explore self-acceptance. I have experience in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and mood disorders within adolescents and adults.
