“Life can feel overwhelming, but when you meet someone who gets it and can help, it’s transforming.”

–Emily

Emily always dreamed of opening a private practice that focused on empowerment and kindness. She worked in mental health for over 15 years and felt the need for more progressive therapy that people can relate to. With that goal in mind, K&E Therapy opened in 2021.

Prior to private practice, Emily worked collaboratively with families and high-risk youth throughout Ventura County SELPA and LVUSD. Throughout her clinical experience, Emily assisted individuals and families in navigating and getting through depression, trauma, anxiety, addiction, suicidal ideations, self-injurious behaviors, personality disorders, relational issues, eating disorders, and more.

Additionally, Emily has children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Until someone has actually lived the journey of having a child with “different needs”, no one can fathom the emotional toll it takes on parents and families. Emily is passionate about helping families connect to resources and services while also assisting families in processing and transforming for the better throughout their journey.

Emily specializes in supporting children, teens, and young adults with creative and individualized techniques. Emily's expertise is in teaching unique coping strategies to people that can help in real world situations.
