About Alive and whole wellness

You were created to experience life alive in purpose, whole in identity, and free from fear.

I’m Emily, owner of Alive and Whole Wellness and a Houston-based therapist. I specialize in therapy for lasting change by helping my clients heal at the root of their anxiety and move forward in life alive, whole, and free.

How I Work

How I Work

At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that you were created to experience embodied healing in mind, body, and spirit. The embodied approach centers on the belief that the brain and nervous system were designed to move toward healing and wholeness through experiences of warmth, rest, and connection. I help my clients achieve lasting healing from the distress of anxiety through EMDR, integrative Christian counseling, and evidence-based calming techniques for anxiety.

What to expect through therapy

Imagine a space where…

  • You have a safe, trusting relationship where you freely and securely share your story.

  • You identify the roots of your struggles and experience healing in mind, body, and spirit.

  • You learn to reconnect with your sense of self and step back into life alive, whole, and free.

  • Your past no longer keeps you feeling stuck, but becomes a part of your testimony as you move forward.

Therapy with me is…

  • I take care in getting to know your story and forming a plan specific for you.

  • I aim to encourage and empower you as you feel, heal, and move forward in life.

  • Our therapeutic relationship will always be a special place where your story is held safe and secure between us.

  • I help my clients identify and heal at the root of their pain so they can experience the deepest relief and freedom.
