Philosophy & Approach
As an educator and mental health advocate, I understand that herpes stigma can't be "coached" away with quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. My structured programs provide consistent support while remaining flexible enough to meet your individual needs. Through our work together, you'll develop skills that extend far beyond HSV management—from navigating modern dating to having meaningful conversations about sexual health, values, and boundaries.

I bring a fresh, empowering approach to sex education, moving beyond outdated narratives of fear and shame, presenting sexual health as self-care. My unique blend of professional training and lived experience means you're getting guidance from someone who truly understands this journey because I've been there, too.Â

Emily's content helped me process my long-held hidden shame about my diagnosis—8 years long. You helped normalize the conversation and gave me words and ideas to use when sharing about my status.
