Hello! My name is Emily - I have a supportive approach to counselling where I believe in your ability to grow and change through adversity. I am here to show up authentically and help you understand how your experiences have shaped your life today. I use a multitude of trauma-informed and relationally based approaches to help you understand your patterns and create wanted changes in your life. You are not alone, and together we can help you find whatever you are searching for.
I work with people who have gone through wounding experiences that have manifested in maladaptive behavioural, cognitive, and physiological patterns. Additionally, I work with Indigenous peoples as an ally that utilizes anti-oppressive, culturally safe, and resilience based frameworks. I operate from the core belief that all identities are worthy.
I believe we all have inherent wisdom and internal truth. My goal is to help you find healing through self-discovery and by coming to recognize the intrinsic strength within you. I will meet you where you are at and we can work together to create goals that will address your concerns or make changes that will help you to live the life you want to live.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, self-esteem and attachment concerns. I also work with couples to increase vulnerability and mutual understanding. My approach stabilizes clients with somatic coping skills while growing self-awareness in initial sessions, and eventually works to address the deeper root causes of the presenting concerns.

I primarily use Parts work, which seeks to understand buried hurts that drive thoughts and behaviours in a compassionate way. Additionally, I use attachment theory and polyvagal theory to support regulation and understanding.
