Tapestry Counseling

Individual & Couples

Let’s make sense of your story together.

On the surface, our lives often look like a completed tapestry—the polished image we choose to share with others. Beneath that image, however, lies the underside: a complex network of knots, frayed ends, and tangled threads that represent our internal world, past experiences, and deeper emotions.

Therapy is the quiet, intentional work of examining these specific threads and gently loosening the knots. It empowers you to take those same fibers and consciously reweave them, crafting a more beautiful and resilient story moving forward.

Whether you are new to therapy or returning after a time away, you’ve found a safe place to land.

Hi, I’m Emily.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker whose career has been woven together by several rich experiences over the past two decades. My early years spent working in refugee resettlement left an indelible mark on the way I relate to and view the world. Not only did it provide me with a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed lens that I continue to use daily in my therapy practice, it also taught me how to understand people in the context of their greater story and to hold each one with compassion & care.

As a therapist, I continue to find that people’s stories are the most compelling part of the work I do, and I count it sacred each time a person invites me into the story unfolding in their life. 

I earned my Masters degree from Loyola University Chicago and have completed advanced training through Imago Therapy, Postpartum Support International, Enneagram Insight, and Prepare Enrich.
