You might be feeling anxious, stuck in your head, overwhelmed by expectations — at home, at work, or both. Maybe you're struggling in your relationships, navigating a difficult chapter in parenting, or feeling the weight of burnout. Or perhaps you're dealing with the invisible complexities of living between cultures — trying to make space for your identity while meeting the demands of family and community.
These struggles can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.
I work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting stress, workplace burnout, and acculturation issues.

I believe each of us is doing the best we can in life, given the tools we have. However, when life gets overwhelming, we may feel stuck and wish things were different—it might be easy to focus on what needs to change, yet we may feel unable to make changes. As a therapist, I help clients add to their toolkit, equipping them to manage challenges while also empowering them to recognize and access the strengths already within them. I believe each person is resilient and can grow and thrive, even if they need help along the way. Reaching out is the first (and often hardest) step, and I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

You might not believe me right now, but it will get better. Whether you're grappling with the overwhelming weight of anxiety, the persistent fog of depression, or the unique complexities of neurodivergence, each day can feel like a tumbling, uphill battle. You feel constantly on edge even when you know there’s nothing wrong. The world feels gray and robbed of its colour. And you’re exhausted from trying to fit into a world that wasn't designed for your unique brain. Somehow, you’ve lost the will to be kind to yourself, let alone “love yourself,” even though all the IG inspo accounts you follow make it seem like that's so easy to do.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Are you or someone you are caring for facing a situation that is causing you stress, worry or sadness? Facing a health challenge or making a significant life transition can feel overwhelming leading you to worry how you are going to face the future. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may lack energy or time for yourself making you feel irritable, frustrated, angry or guilty. You may think, "I can't do this, I'm not handling this well" causing you to overthink and ruminate which might affect your sleep at night. You may struggle finding meaning and purpose and don't know who to talk to.

Hey there! I’m Emily (she/her; I’m a Newfie at heart).
Opening up about personal struggles isn’t easy, which is why I prioritize you having a space where you feel comfortable being yourself — with no judgment, just understanding. Whether you’re dealing with addiction, an eating disorder, anxiety, or navigating life’s challenges, I want therapy to be somewhere you feel safe and supported.
It can be intimidating to start therapy, so I work hard to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can open up at your own pace. I believe we all deserve to be heard and that it’s my job to help you take charge of your healing journey.

Your relationship is full of challenges, you feel disconnected and can't reach a compromise. You are in a life transition to parenthood and cannot seem to find your footing or figure out why you feel so anxious and overwhelmed. In a world of "self-care" you find that nothing is helping and that you are failing those around you as well as yourself. These challenges continue to impact supports, your ability to work and engage in social interactions. I support individuals and couples as they navigate challenges with well-being including trust, stress, isolation, burnout, perinatal stages, mental health, trauma and addictions.
