Hey There, Fellow Traveler…

I’m Emily 🗝️🏔️🚀✨☕️🤟🏼🧭

I began my career as a therapist in 2010 and founded my private practice, Curiosity Rising, in 2019.

With a passion for holistic and integrative approaches, I specialized in working with complex trauma and anxiety through the lens of Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Psychedelic Therapy.

My works exists at the intersections of:

  • “Evidence-Based” and “Woo-Woo” 

  • “Science” and “Spiritual” 

  • “Known” and “Unknown”

  • “Seen” and “Unseen”

  • “Research” and “Mystical” 

I’m the creator of The Self-Trust Model™. A framework designed to empower women to overcome self-doubt, overthinking, and insecurity so they can feel confident chasing their big dreams.

I turned to writing as a salve, during the most challenging time of my life.

I realized I couldn’t not write. Can you relate?

It became a compass through dark nights of the soul and a bridge to what truly mattered. It led me on a journey of leaving my dream job as a therapist in private practice to pursue my soul’s relentless calling.

Giving myself permission to pivot when I heard the whispers.

Since then, I’ve published ✌🏼 books:

Formerly a proud nomad, I now find solace in home and family amidst the beauty of Colorado. Whether I’m hiking in the mountains or forest, it’s always after a few tea lattes. ☕️
