Emily Skomer
My name is Emily Skomer and I have always enjoyed writing in order to process my burdens, convictions, and values, in hopes that the words I put out there may help someone else. I’m passionate about helping others and empowering them to honor their feelings and emotions in safe spaces. Some topics I care deeply about are leaving emotionally, physically, sexually, mentally, or spiritually abusive environments, finding wholeness and healing, wrestling with doubt and questions within faith, and loving others well. I have recently been accepted into a graduate program I will start in the fall, where I will be taking the steps to become a trauma therapist. You can find me on Instagram at @emskomer
