I offer life coaching services for neurodivergent individuals and their families. I especially enjoy working with people on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, and those struggling with sensory regulation concerns. I support personal development, life skills development, and communication.
I also enjoy working with new neurodivergent parents who would like support in developing a parenting style and skills, discipline techniques that align with their values, and resources to better understand their parenting goals and their child’s specific needs.
As an autistic person myself, parenting an autistic child, an ADHD child, and with an ADHD partner, I have a unique understanding of the daily challenges neurodiverse people face. I can help you identify your individual goals and create a specific, personalized plan to improve your independent living skills, parenting skills, social skills, and general well-being.
I believe autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergences are neurological differences, not diseases to be cured.
I am queer and offer a safe space for other GLBTQA+ folks, as well as poly/ENM folks.
I believe in gentle, collaborative parenting techniques, and have seen them work wonders for families with young ADHD-ers and autistics.
I have experience working with sensory processing differences, pathological demand avoidance, oppositional defiance, social anxiety, and learning differences.
I believe in strength-based, evidence-based assessment and skill-building.
As a life coach, I help you clarify YOUR needs and help you create a plan to meet YOUR goals.
I offer email, video, and phone consultations with clients all over the world. I offer multi-session discounts and some sliding scale options for folks with demonstrated financial need. Email me for more information today, or to book a FREE 20 minute listening session so we can learn more about each other and see if we’re a good fit together. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am deeply dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that honors and affirms the rich diversity of human experience. I am committed to helping individuals explore, embrace, and celebrate identities that are important to them, whether that involves navigating LGBTQIA2S+ experiences, exploring gender expression, processing relational stress and miscommunication, or overcoming challenges related to substance use and addiction. I also acknowledge that significant life transitions, such as immigration, financial instability, disability, relationship challenges, and child-rearing, deeply influence our sense of self and the ways we connect with others.
During therapeutic sessions, I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and the Gottman Method to support clients in deepening their self-awareness and healing relationships. I work with individuals across all age groups, as well as couples (including multicultural relationships and those practicing ethical/consensual non-monogamy), and families. I aim to cultivate empathy, respect, and genuine connection in every session, creating a safe and supportive environment where each person feels seen, heard, and validated. I am highly attuned to the impacts of inequity, oppression, marginalization, and various forms of discrimination that individuals may encounter in their homes, educational or professional settings, cultural or ethnic communities, and broader society. I belong to the communities that I serve, and I strive to provide a non-judgmental space where clients can process the challenges of discrimination, grieve their sacrifices, and adjust to new circumstances. My goal is to help clients feel empowered to navigate these complexities with greater confidence and self-compassion, so they can move toward a more fulfilling, authentic life on their terms. I can meet with clients in English or Afrikaans.

Surrogate partner therapy is a somatic form of therapy designed to increase a client’s capacity for emotional and physical intimacy. It was developed by Masters and Johnson in the 1970s and uses evidence-based research to overcome challenges related to intimacy, touch, and sexuality. The client forms a therapeutic relationship with the surrogate partner to develop the skills to form a relationship with a partner out in the real world. The therapy proceeds at a pace friendly to each client’s needs. This experiential learning is divided into phases designed to build self-awareness and resolve deeply-ingrained issues surrounding relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Emily works with a supervising licensed therapist and accepts clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship modalities.
