Emily with turquoise earrings

Hi, I'm Emily:

burnt-out clinical psychologist, aspiring soul guide, and human being

In the Fall of 2024, I had finally "done it". I'd completed the checklist: fancy degree partner house career plan. Then it hit me...

I'm not happy.

That's when my real work started.

I'm probably not your average clinical psychologist. I don't believe all the books. I probably won't use the manual. I genuinely believe that, in your heart of hearts, you already know what you need to know.

I can't give you the answers, but I have walked the path. Over the past year, I have come home to myself. If you feel guided to do the same, walk with me. I'd love to walk you home.

You've done your work (practically and emotionally). You're "successful" on paper. But for some reason, something just doesn't feel "right."

You're (almost) ready to admit it....

You hate your perfect life.

You wake up next to your partner in the middle of the night going… "I'm supposed to feel different, aren't I?"

You stare at your laptop in the middle of the day going, "This was my dream, right?"

When you read a new self-help book or listen to a new podcast, the feeling eases for a moment… but it always comes back.

That whisper that says:

This. Ain't. It.

Who I Work With

High-functioning women whose lives look right, but feel wrong.

Women who did everything they were supposed to do:

Built the career.

Made the responsible choices.

Created a life that works on paper.

And are starting to realize:

Something about this life isn't actually me.

Why Now?

It's time to get engaged… or leave

It's time to sign the contract… or quit

It's time to choose.

Some Things I Believe That Inform My Work

The universe is always conspiring for your highest good
Most things worth knowing are a paradox
What life presents to us is ultimately for us
Life flows better when we surrender (note: this does not mean being passive)
We are co-creators with the divine
Our reality is a hologram of our internal world: as above, so below
