The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single compassionate step toward yourself.
Ember Thomas
As a licensed therapist and certified coach, I help people navigate life's complexities with clarity, courage, and self-compassion. Together, we'll uncover the strength you already possess.
My Journey
From Overwhelmed
to Empowered
My path to becoming a therapist wasn't linear—it was shaped by my own experiences with anxiety, self-doubt, and the search for meaning. I understand what it feels like to be stuck, questioning your choices, and wondering if change is even possible.
After years of personal exploration and formal training in clinical psychology, I discovered that healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about reconnecting with who you truly are. I completed my master's degree, earned my license, and dedicated myself to creating a practice built on authenticity, empathy, and evidence-based techniques.
Why I Do What I Do
Witnessing Transformation Fuels My Purpose
There's a moment in therapy when I see someone's perspective shift—when the weight they've been carrying becomes lighter, when confusion gives way to clarity. That moment is why I do this work. I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing, but sometimes we need a guide to help us find the path.
My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I'm not here to tell you what to do—I'm here to help you uncover what you already know deep down. Through active listening, thoughtful questions, and proven therapeutic techniques, we'll work together to remove the barriers holding you back.

Learn to quiet the inner critic and manage overwhelming thoughts. Through evidence-based techniques, we'll reduce anxiety's grip on your life and help you cultivate calm, even in chaos.
Relationship & Communication
Whether you're navigating conflict, setting boundaries, or seeking deeper connection, we'll work on communication patterns that foster healthier, more authentic relationships.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
This truth grounds my work. No matter what you've experienced, where you've been, or what mistakes you think you've made—today is always an opportunity to begin again.

Ember gave me permission to slow down and actually feel what I'd been running from for years. Her gentle but direct approach helped me see patterns I couldn't recognize on my own. I came in feeling completely lost, and now I have a clear sense of who I am and what I want. The clarity is everything.
