Emerald Light
Counselor-in-Training

I am a Master’s-level student at Northwestern University, pursuing a degree in Clinical Counseling. Currently, I am completing my internship at A Better You Counseling, where I focus on providing individualized, person-centered care with a strength-based approach.

My passion lies in helping individuals who feel stuck rediscover their potential and move forward in their lives. I utilize a mindfulness-based approach to counseling, helping clients build self-awareness and tools to navigate challenges.

Before transitioning to the field of counseling, I worked as a nurse, which deepened my appreciation for the human experience and the importance of holistic care. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family and embracing the joys of lifelong learning.
