I help you (1) understand why you feel responsible for keeping everyone else okay, (2) untangle the patterns that no longer work for you & (3) learn to trust yourself, take up space & show up fully.
THERAPY WITH EMILEE
Therapy for the ones who are really good at taking care of everyone but themselves.
Hi! I’m Emilee, an anxiety & trauma therapist for young adult women. I work with people-pleasers, overthinkers, big feelers & people trying to understand how their relationships, families, faith or past experiences shaped who they learned to be.
I provide virtual therapy for clients in Alaska, Arizona, Texas, Utah & Washington, with a particular focus on people-pleasing, anxiety, attachment wounds, relational trauma & religious trauma. When it fits, I incorporate EMDR as a modality to help you process trauma. I use a very relational, curious & human approach. I’m glad you’re here!

My guess is that these patterns helped you stay connected, avoid conflict, or feel safe in some way. Therapy can be a place to understand why they’re there, not just force yourself to stop doing them.
I’m licensed to work with clients in:
