Trauma, COUples & Marriage counseling
Therapy in Redlands, CA, for motivated people who are ready to create real change.
Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about becoming more fully yourself.
Trying, Trying, and More Trying
→
You’ve been reflecting, trying, and showing up for your life — and still, something isn’t shifting the way you hoped. You understand yourself better than you ever have. You’ve read books, listened to podcasts, gone to therapy, prayed prayers, and done a lot of good, honest work.
And yet, familiar patterns keep returning — in your relationships, your emotions, or your inner life.
If that’s where you are, there’s nothing wrong with you. There may simply be something unfinished asking for attention.

Many people come to therapy feeling frustrated with themselves — not because they haven’t tried, but because insight alone hasn’t brought the relief or freedom they hoped for. They understand what’s happening in their head, but there’s often a gap between knowing and truly feeling something shift.
That’s because many struggles don’t live only in our thoughts. They live in the heart, in the body, and in emotional patterns shaped by relationships and life experiences. What feels stuck is not a flaw to fix, but something in you that hasn’t yet been fully heard or tended to with care.
Why You’re Still Feeling Stuck
Hi, I’m Emelly.
I would love to help.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I help individuals and couples create lasting change by working with the deeper emotional and relational patterns that talk-based insight alone can’t reach.
My work is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that growth often requires slowing down — not pushing harder. When we move too quickly to override what’s difficult, we can miss important parts of ourselves along the way. In therapy, we take time to notice what’s been overlooked, set aside, or left behind, and gently bring it back into awareness and care.
This is not about quick fixes or perfect healing.
It’s about meaningful, sustainable change that unfolds over time.
How I Can Help
A way forward that fits for you.
Therapy isn’t about becoming a different person — or reaching some finished, perfected version of yourself.
We are never truly “done.”
What becomes possible instead is becoming more yourself — with more choice, more presence, and more freedom — again and again, over the course of a lifetime.
Change doesn’t happen all at once.
But it does happen — especially when it’s approached with patience, care, and commitment.
Ready to create change?
If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to begin with a free consultation. This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to explore what you’re hoping for and whether my approach feels like a good fit.
