About Me

Hi friends!

I’m Emma, Owner and Founder of Elite Counseling Group, LLC, dog mom turned human mom, lover of indoor plants….killer of indoor plants, and social work fanatic. I was born and raised in Lafayette, but am an IU Hoosier girl at heart! If you are a Purdue fan, we can still be friends! I’ve been back in the Lafayette area after obtaining a few degrees and I am so excited for this newest endeavor.

I started my career in the social work field while volunteering during my undergraduate studies at Indiana University Southeast, and quickly fell in love with helping others, especially kiddos. At that time, I was volunteering as a Study Buddy and quickly realized how little access to resources there were. After graduating with my Bachelors Degree, I began working in the social work field and decided to jump into grad school. Two short but excruciating years later, I graduated from University of Louisville with my Masters of Science in Social Work Degree in 2020. I obtained my Licensed Social Worker in 2021 and my Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2023.

Private practice was always my end goal, but I kept putting it off thinking it just wasn’t the right time. Isn’t it amazing what we can accomplish when we put our fears aside?! I am so excited for you to be here and I hope to see you soon!
