Emily is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and approved clinical supervisor in Oregon. She is committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to individuals and families. She holds a BA in Sociology with honors and was recognized as the outstanding sociology major of her cohort. Emily went on to earn her Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of South Carolina, where she developed a strong foundation in clinical practice and advocacy.

Before completing her MSW, Emily worked for the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice, leading programs for at-risk youth and gaining valuable experience in community outreach. She is also a proud City Year AmeriCorps alumna, having served in Columbia, South Carolina, where she implemented substance abuse treatment and prevention initiatives.

Emily’s dedication to trauma work began as a volunteer victim advocate at a local rape crisis agency, which inspired her to pursue further training in trauma-focused interventions. Over the course of seven years, she worked extensively with survivors of violence and crime, serving as an advocate, guardian ad litem, and group therapy program director. During this time, she became certified in several evidence-based trauma therapies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Additionally, Emily lived, worked, and traveled in Mexico, Honduras and Chile, where she became fluent in Spanish and deepened her passion for social justice work. These experiences shaped her commitment to serving underserved populations and promoting culturally sensitive care.

After gaining clinical experience in a behavioral health intensive outpatient program within South Carolina’s largest hospital system, and after serving as clinical supervisor in an Oregon Community Mental Health Program (CMHP), Emily transitioned to private practice. Today, she leads Eastern Oregon Trauma Center where she specializes in treating complex trauma and promotes healing.

Outside of her practice, Emily is grateful to call Eastern Oregon home, where she is raising her family, tending to her chickens and contributing to the community she loves.

Jess began seeing clients for individual and family counseling in 2021, focused primarily on children and teens. She graduated with her Masters of Social Work in 2022 from Walla Walla University.
