Emily’s dedication to healing service began long before her chosen career as a psychotherapist. As a child, she assisted her country doctor father on house calls throughout the countryside.  Those remembered experiences of respect and commitment to patients inform her work today, with a natural empathy and clarity, augmented by extensive training and experience.

Emily sees individuals and families in transition at the San Diego Family Institute on Fourth Avenue in San Diego. A separate playroom awaits children of all ages. Armed with clay, paints, colored pencils, their faces express anticipation at magical happenings, Emily as inspiration.

Whether with children or adults, Emily serves as a trusted guide to new ways of seeing, new ways of saying, new ways of being, in a changing, often confusing personal and outer world.
