Hi! I’m Emmin

I am a nonbinary and multiply neurodivergent therapist and educator based in Richmond, VA.

As a therapist, I understand the importance of centering identity, especially in the context of culture and oppressive systems in therapeutic work with my clients. I am guided by transformative justice, and I am committed to continuously growing in anti-racist practice.

I use an eclectic approach combining primarily somatic, IFS, and artistic or interest-based interventions with lived experience as a disabled and trans person.

I believe that sustainable healing takes place where there is play, art, movement, imagination, and nourished hope.

In my free time, I love playing tabletop and video games, making new recipes with friends, and finding any way I can to get outdoors or to the beach.
