Idea of Care

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard, respected and understood. I believe healing happens through collaboration, and I work closely with patients, families and medical providers to support the whole person emotionally, mentally and physically. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate and solution-focused. I help patients identify strengths, build practical skills and move forward with confidence and lasting well-being.

Personal Interests

Emy enjoys spending time with family and being involved in her community. Outside of work, she loves staying active, traveling and exploring the outdoors, especially places near water. Emy values experiences that create meaningful memories and balance, and she supports activities that promote both physical and mental well-being for families and children.
