Get To Know Emily
I started my career in healthcare working as an RN. For over a decade, I worked in pediatrics, palliative care, and inpatient substance use treatment. It was on this journey that I recognized my gifts for healing were better utilized in the social work field. I found myself wanting to spend more time on the behavioral health side of healthcare.
After going back for my MSW at the University at Buffalo (GO BILLS!), I transitioned from a full time nurse to a behavioral health counselor. Marrying my clinical knowledge from nursing to my desire to help heal through a behavioral health lens has been an absolute joy for me.
On a personal note, I grew up with a love for playing sports. I continued to pursue my love for athletics in college where I rowed for a D1 team. Since college, I find the gym remains a space where I can continue to let my love for movement flourish. Fitness for me is not just an hour grind that I squeeze in after work. Fitness is a vital component to my stability, balance, and wellness. I enjoy using fitness with others as a way to enhance their overall wellness, build confidence in themselves, and set up a healthy foundation for their future.
I am passionate about each person living their life feeling inspired, fulfilled, and valued. I look forward to working with each client on their specific goals. When we live a life fulfilled, we add value and an incredible presence to our world.
