Hi, I'm Emma! I work with new parents and parents-to-be of all genders and sexualities. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities, experiencing shifts in your relationships, or struggling to find your identity amidst these changes, I am here to support you. As a former midwife and lactation consultant, I bring an in-depth understanding of the unique needs and challenges that individuals face during their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. As a mother myself, I understand the demands of motherhood and the untethering that can happen as we adjust to new identities, new roles, and new relationships.

Life can have us juggling a lot and it can be hard to make sense of it all. Maybe it’s ADHD that makes daily tasks feel like mountains, anxiety that won’t let you rest, or grief that lingers longer than you expected. You want tools that actually work, space to breathe, and support that meets you where you are. If you're seeking a change but unsure where to start, I may be able to help. Together, we’ll work to blend mindfulness, body-based techniques, and values-driven goals to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with intention.

Are you tired of twisting yourself to fit into a world that doesn’t make space for you? If you’re ADHD, Autistic, LGBT2SQ+, living with chronic illness, going through menopause, or struggling with disordered eating, you may have tried therapy that left you feeling unseen or pressured to fit a mould. My approach is different. I offer therapy that is practical, neuro-affirming, holistic, mind-body informed, and practiced through a lived experience lens. Together, we focus on what actually works for you and your nervous system, so you can build a life that feels more possible, supportive, and sustainable. Let’s work together!

Life is amazing—how much we endure and still carry on. Kids grow fast, time flies, coworkers test our patience, and we often give others compassion we deny ourselves. We overload our plates when we really need rest. We crave connection yet miss chances right in front of us. Life is short, but we learn so much along the way, and small steps can create massive change.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn’t visible, i.e., grief, guilt, exhaustion, or the silent burden of being everything for everyone. It can leave you (and your partner) feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and stuck. Maybe you're doing your best to support others while feeling like you're unraveling on the inside. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are still waiting for the world to feel safe again? Or maybe you're simply tired of dissociating, of pretending, of staying composed while suffering in silence. If any of this resonates, you're not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you.

Relationships can be messy! Whether you’re a couple feeling stuck in conflict, a parent struggling to keep your cool, or a new mom quietly overwhelmed, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, your partner, and the people who matter most. I create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and build the tools you need to feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-informed, blending techniques from CBT, DBT, and family systems therapy with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I’m trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and have advanced training in perinatal mental health.

Here’s what I do to facilitate self growth. I integrate key therapeutic principles drawing on a wide range of psychodynamic, CBT/DBT, Relational and other evidence based modalities, in which I invite you to sit down and/or ZOOM with me in a relaxed, safe, informal way, and talk. It can be hard to believe that "just talking" can be helpful. But if you’re depressed, anxious and dealing with the impacts and effects of traumatic stress, you can be profoundly healed by an in-depth conversation in which you come to create greater self-understanding, discover insights and meanings, recognize patterns, and explore options and skills.

For many, counselling can feel intimidating—sitting across from someone you don’t know, unsure of what to expect, and uncertain about opening up. I understand. That was me when I first met with a therapist years ago. What I discovered, though, is that counselling is really just a conversation—two people working together toward a shared goal. As a therapist, I desire to create a safe space for that conversation. A place where your thoughts and emotions are heard, your story is understood, and where together we can walk the path toward mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

You desire more from life, but have no idea how to achieve it. You want to grow into a better version of yourself, but the change you desire seems so gigantic, that you sometimes think it’s impossible. Your past, limiting beliefs about yourself, lack of tools, structures, motivation, maps and accountability are keeping you STUCK. You hate it, but have no idea how to get out of this rut of stagnation, and you sometimes feel like giving up. It's likely that you've even tried-several times-to change, but you keep ending up in the same place, only now, you're even more discouraged.
