Venture Psychotherapy

Welcome! My name is Emily, and I look forward to meeting you, or you and your family. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW), and have been in therapy practice for 15+ years. I work closely with children, adults, and families at different stages of life, and value connection, growth, and movement in the therapy process, taking small steps to build momentum for development and opportunity. I value building rapport with my client(s), using strengths-based and solution-focused approaches. It is important to me to meet each person or family where they are at, providing therapy with meaning that brings forth hope and allows the individual or family to thrive! I am a wife, and a mother to 3 kids (and a bonus fur kid) who keep my heart and hands full. I personally know the joys and challenges that life can bring, and with that, live with authenticity and grace. When I am not working, you can find me enjoying my family and friends, spending time outside or at the gym, or drinking a warm cup of coffee. My greatest joy is spending time with people and building meaningful connections both personally and professionally.
