client testimonials
“My sessions with Emily always leave me feeling lighter. Emily understands the ways that church and spirituality have shaped me, and it is very refreshing to share that with someone who is understanding, non-judgmental, and encourages questions, exploration, and reflection. While both are important, my experience with spiritual direction is different from therapy because the spiritual and religious facets of my life are understood and celebrated in all of their complexity.” —Carlee
“As one who was unfamiliar with spiritual direction prior to my time with Emily, I am deeply grateful for the skillful and loving sessions. Emily provides a rich combination of spirit led conversation and contemplative practices all tailored to my own experience, personal spirituality and circumstances. I find our times together very encouraging as she walks with me on an exploratory journey of self reflection and a deeper understanding of life’s meaning and purpose.” —Rachel
“I will sing Emily’s praises. She is understanding of where I am emotionally and spiritually, and she does not cast judgment. She is encouraging and insightful in her words and reflection, giving me a new perspective on my life. Emily is such a gem!” —Angela
