Therapist and Practice Owner
Hi, I’m Emily! Untangle & Uplift Therapy is my private practice in Maryland. My dedication to this work is deeply personal and built on pieces of my own journey as a mother and someone who’s experienced trauma.
After the birth of my first child, I was hit hard with Postpartum Anxiety and rage. I remember feeling so lost and alone, consumed with intrusive thoughts and intense anger that I didn’t understand. I was quite literally tangled up in thoughts and emotions that felt out of control.
Although I found healing through therapy, I remember wishing for a deeper, more specialized level of support—someone who truly understood the intensity of postpartum experiences and trauma.
That wish became my mission. I founded Untangle & Uplift Therapy to be the exact space I needed: compassionate, expert, non-judgmental, and deeply healing. While my healing journey began in motherhood, this space is for all women to safely untangle emotional pain and uplift their lives toward genuine clarity, strength, and sustainable peace.
