Hi, I’m Emy (she/her), and I believe you are incredible just as you are.
As a St. Petersburg therapist with over a decade of experience, I’ve spent years walking alongside people as they untangle from expectations, survival patterns, and shame, and begin to come home to themselves. In 2013, I created Me-Therapy as a space where you don’t have to perform, prove, or explain. Just show up as you are. You’re welcome here.
At Me-Therapy in St. Petersburg, Florida, I offer therapy that’s spacious, intuitive, and centered around your wholeness, not what’s “wrong” or needs fixing. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationship shifts, grief, or the quiet ache of disconnection, you don’t have to do it alone. This is a space for deep presence, real reflection, and grounded change.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist (MT3066), and sex therapist, I work with individuals and people in relationships of all kinds – monogamous, non-monogamous, queer, questioning – through a trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and sex-positive lens. Whether you’re exploring new ways of relating or finding your way back to yourself within a long-standing partnership, you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are here. Whatever shape your relationships take, this space is built to meet you as you are.
My approach is shaped by years of training and by my own lived experience.
I draw from emotionally focused therapy (EFT), psychosynthesis, mindfulness, embodiment work, and focusing-oriented therapy. I’m also the creator of the Whole Person Therapist™ model, which supports therapists in tending to their own inner landscapes, so they can hold space for others without bypassing their truth.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Sofia University and a PhD in Psychology from Saybrook University, where I specialized in consciousness, spirituality, and integrative health. My doctoral dissertation, Reweaving the Tapestry of Self, explored how we rebuild after loss, not by erasing the past, but by honoring it as part of our becoming. That still guides my work today.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a motorcycle-riding, cat-loving, fantasy-novel-reading human. I share my life with my partner and our exceptional cats, Cleo and Jellybean. I love soft storytelling and moments that make room for complexity, and Heartstopper has my heart. The queer joy, the tenderness, the honesty—it reminds me what’s possible when people feel safe enough to be fully themselves.
Also? I love pizza. And I’m a firm believer that the best slice comes from New Jersey, not New York, and definitely not Florida (though the taste tests continue).
If you’re looking for a St. Petersburg therapist who offers deep, affirming care, you can learn more about working with me here, or explore my reflections and resources on the Me-Therapy blog.
Emy
