Welcome to Rebel Shift Childhood

Psycho-education support services
Rebel Shift Childhood provides therapeutic coaching, consulting and psycho-educational support services for individuals, families, and organizations. My mission is to provide a therapeutic alternative that is backed by cutting-edge neuroscience.
My transformative relationship coaching and consulting is designed to serve young children, teens, adults, families, schools, and other organizations seeking an innovative and refreshing approach to cultivate healthier more satisfying relationships.
Hi, I’m Emily, the creator of Rebel Shift Childhood.
My approach to therapeutic and psycho-educational coaching and consulting is grounded in empowerment for adults and children alike. I help my clients grow: awareness, compassion, connection, collaboration, healthy boundaries, co-regulation, cooperation and mutual respect; rather than outdated tactics like: force, control, judgment, harshness, enmeshment, divisiveness, competition, rewards and punishments.
When working with my clients, I apply developmental neuroscience in our sessions. Whether I work with children, youth, or adults, I aim to provide the most innovative and intuitive solutions by working with individuals one-on-one, to curate unique solutions that meet to their specific needs.
I teach individuals and groups how to engage in identifying and understanding the roots of stress, which creates sustainable relationships in personal, educational, and professional contexts.
By working with me, clients will learn to interpret present behaviors and reactions as expressions of underlying needs, feelings and experiences. As clients become more aware of how these underlying needs, feelings and experiences imbue the present, they will learn to engage in repair work and move forward with less stress and more emotional awareness; which are the building blocks of a sustainable future.
In my sessions with clients, I encourage a spirit of discovery when it comes to examining how our experience effects our ability to balance external guidance with personal boundaries.
By seeking out my expertise, clients will develop better self-awareness, learn to reframe toxic cultural expectations and expand their tolerance for others, ultimately cultivating more joy and creating authentic relationships with themselves and the important people in their lives.
Transformative therapeutic and educational services with Rebel shift childhood.
When you work with me, you can expect personalized, carefully curated support, neurologically supportive care, and a trauma-informed and a trauma-sensitive approach. I offer practical solutions to challenging behavioral patterns in both children and adults, and my method reframes challenging behaviors and represents a paradigm shift by analyzing the root causes of negative, confusing and disruptive behavior.
In my sessions, I take a co-creative approach that will aid clients in gaining a deeper understanding of how unmet emotional needs lead to unsatisfying relationships. I also highlight the ways in which real-world stressors can hijack our relationships and I offer solutions that help clients heal from the past and create a brighter future.
Finally, I honor the need for inclusive, cutting-edge therapeutic and educational services. I am highly skilled at encouraging my clients to embrace self-expression and the non-judgmental atmosphere that I cultivate in my sessions allows my clients to heal their relationship to self and others.
Testimonials
“Emily came into my life after one of the worst mornings in a long time with my high needs kiddo. A fellow mom in the drop off line witnessed the emotional distress in the scene, offered a hug, and recommended Emily. That was almost a year ago and I had no idea parenting could be this good. Emily comes into every appointment with expertise, compassion, and perspective. I struggled for years with so many different parenting methodologies that I couldn’t make work. Emily hasn’t given me another methodology but instead a framework for relationship. Now, I have different insight and tools for engaging with and loving both of my children . Parenting is still hard, always will be, but thanks to Emily the hard is less often, less intense, and easier to work through. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Emily is an amazing woman, even in challenging times. She is determined and dedicated to her work. SHE IS A FORCE OF NATURE.”
“ Working with Emily is amazing because she helps me see my blindspots, and gives me direction to move forward.
I have worked with great therapists that have helped me see things and helped grow— Emily goes further by helping me see how the things I have worked on/am working on are playing out with my kids.
She is gentle and strong, brilliant and human. She isn’t just understanding, she gets to the kernel of the truth that matters the most.”
