About Me

Hi, I’m Emi. I created Your Thought Partner because I know how powerful it is to have someone truly listen - not to fix you, not to judge you, but to hold that energetic space while your thoughts, worries and dreams unfold.

Growing up, my thoughts and feelings were often invalidated which lead me to constantly doubt myself. I wasn’t sure I was meant to be on this Earth, to be honest. It’s taken me decades to build that trust within myself - and although I’m not even close to perfect, I am very passionate about helping others feel validated, seen, and heard in ways little Emi didn’t always get.

I am not a therapist, and I don’t hold a PhD, but I do have a passion for helping people find their inner strength. I’ve walked through my own seasons of struggle, growth, and uncertainty. My journey hasn’t been a straight line. I’m someone who often follows where my interests and intuition lead me - sometimes gracefully, sometimes clumsily - and I know what it feels like to wonder what path to take next. I also know the terrible feeling it is to be judged when you don’t have a clear path and your heart is filled with insecurities. A big part of my journey has been about breaking cycles - ancestral cycles, family patterns, and the ways we unconsciously carry negativity that isn’t even fully ours. I’ve had to face my own patterns and learn to disrupt them, so I could start living more authentically and freely. In that journey, I’ve been able to discover my own inner power and strength.

Grief has also shaped who I am. Losing my dad and brother to cancer nearly swallowed me whole. But it also woke me up to how short and precious life truly is. We don’t get forever, so why waste it living for appearances or trying to be what others want us to be? Life feels fuller, freer, and more meaningful when we live authentically for ourselves.

And here’s where I may be different: I’m not just here to tell you what you want to hear. I’ll listen deeply, yes, but I’ll also ask questions - sometimes the kind that make you pause or squirm - but those are the ones that stick, the ones you can let bake in the back of your mind until clarity bubbles up.

I’m a little woo-woo in the best way - I love crystals scattered around my house, reiki reminds me to pause and yoga grounds me. I don’t bring these practices into sessions directly, but they shape how I show up: present and compassionate.

So think of me as your sounding board, your thought partner, your safe place to spill it all out and then start to see what really matters. Together, we’ll notice the patterns, break the cycles, and open up space for the life you actually want to live.
