Meet Emma

Emma Carpenter, LMFT, Ncc

“Your experience of relationships feeling "harder than they should be" is common because of our high stress society.”

Life can be a rollercoaster, especially when you're navigating the twists and turns of adulthood. I want you to know that your feelings of frustration, the sensation that "adulting" can be overwhelming, are completely valid. Your experience of relationships feeling "harder than they should be" is common because of our high stress society. You are not alone in this journey; I've walked alongside many individuals and couples just like you, and I understand the unique challenges you face.

How I Can Support You:

I specialize in working with millennials and modern couples who grapple with a range of stressors. Whether it's the weight of prolonged higher education, financial difficulties stemming from student debt or career transitions, the delay of significant life milestones (like buying a house, getting married, or starting a family), or the unsettling shadows of infidelity and insecurity lurking in the realm of social media – I'm here to help you find your way.

Today's world is far from simple and straightforward, and no one handed us a guidebook after graduation to navigate the complexities of being newly independent adults. It's normal to feel overwhelmed when relationships, transitions, or life, in general, start to feel like too much to handle. During these moments, you deserve someone who truly comprehends what you're going through.

I'll be right here, by your side, as you explore your options and discover ways to find inner peace. Together, we'll break down the challenges into manageable steps, so you can start clearing the path toward your goals.

What Outcomes You Can Expect:

Through our work together, you can look forward to:

  • Increasing your self-esteem and confidence.

  • Building secure attachments that make you feel safe within your relationships.

  • Healing from past traumas and managing the transitions life throws your way.

  • Overcoming challenging relational issues and finding harmony in your connections.

I have a special focus on young adults and couples in their 20s and 30s, who face unique issues such as prolonged education, financial stressors from loans, delayed life transitions due to housing or financial constraints, and the pressures of social media. Additionally, I have advanced training in sexology and sex therapy, which allows me to provide support to clients struggling with their sexual well-being.
