Hello, I'm Emma!
I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in supporting children and adolescents through life's challenges. I work collaboratively with young clients and their families to help them navigate emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties.
Using evidence-based modalities, I adjust treatment plans to each individual's situation. I also make it a priority for my therapeutic techniques to be strength-based and trauma-informed. With a focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space, I empower my clients to build resilience, improve coping strategies, and enhance their mental and emotional well-being. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, offering support and guidance to ensure lasting positive outcomes for the family.
I graduated from The George Washington University with my Bachelor’s in Psychological and Brain Sciences. I went on to receive my Master’s in Social Work and licensure as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in South Carolina and Georgia. I moved to Savannah shortly after school and have been loving this city ever since!
My career began in community social work, where I focused on fostering positive change and building sustainable partnerships by connecting underserved neighborhoods across South Carolina with vital resources and support. I also have experience working with children and protective caregivers who have experienced abuse, grief, or other trauma. I am also passionate about working with people affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder both as a behavioral therapist and as a graduate assistant in a research lab.
Here at Waters Edge Counseling, I hope to hone my skills as a therapist and will be working towards my clinical license while under supervision. I am thrilled to be joining a team of experienced and dedicated counselors!
