Who I work with: School of Business/School of Pharmacy

Personal Approach to wellness: I’ve found wellness to be all about balance- some days for me that means a long hike and other days that means watching TV with my cat.

“Emma holds Let’s Talk for the School of Pharmacy and the Foster School of Business.

Let’s Talk is a program that connects UW students with support from experienced counselors from the Counseling Center without an appointment.

Counselors hold drop-in hours via videoconference to provide insight, solutions and information about other resources. Let’s Talk drop-in visits are free, confidential and there is no appointment necessary.

Let’s Talk offers informal consultation – it is not a substitute for regular therapy, counseling or psychiatric care.
