I became a Social Worker because of this intrinsic desire to walk alongside people through their pain and into their growth. As I’ve continued my own growth, both personally and professionally, I have developed a deep passion for working with folks across the lifespan, from ages 8 to 90, as they work towards healing and peace. I have worked with folks with various neurotypes, substance use and addiction, those experiencing housing insecurity and poverty, intimate partner violence/domestic violence, trauma and attachment challenges, self-esteem, emotion regulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation/suicidality, Dementia, and TBI/ABIs.

You hold everything together. You care for others. And somewhere along the way, you start to feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. I work with women and young adults navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, addiction, and relationship stress. Therapy can be a space to exhale, feel what’s been buried, name what’s been confusing, and begin to reconnect with your voice, body, and story.

It can be hard to navigate life. Sometimes we have a clear sense of what is wrong or needs to change, but we don't know how to get there. Other times we feel completely at sea, not even knowing how to name what we are feeling or what we want. There is no right way to approach this work: bring your self and we can work together to sort out the rest. Let's explore who you are, your challenges, what you feel, and what you need to help you to navigate life in a way that feels meaningful to you.
I have worked with folks struggling with a range of concerns and am looking forward to meeting you where you are at.

Do you feel alone? Have you been through some things that you just need to workout with someone? Have you been feeling out of control or just catching yourself doing things that you want to stop doing or stop reacting in XYZ way but just don't know how to stop? Or even just a feeling of deep emptiness and malaise? This is what I help people with. Especially if you work in tech, I used to before I switched into psychology while I was still at The University of Waterloo, there are just very few therapists with history in software.

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.

I believe that each person has their own set of strengths and should be treated as a whole person - not a problem to solve. I see therapy as a collaboration where you and I can work towards the version of yourself you want to be. Sometimes this process can feel overwhelming and daunting so I strive to offer a welcoming and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and values - and grow as a person. I have more than five years experience supporting people with substance use and mental health concerns. Sometimes we can feel trapped by our past, but there is always a way to move forward.

On the outside, you look like you have it all together. You are the responsible one. The one everyone relies on. But on the inside, you feel exhausted. Perhaps your mind races at night or you feel constantly on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe you feel stuck between what others expect of you and what you actually want for yourself. You care deeply about your roots, but find it hard to set boundaries without feeling guilty. You spend so much energy worrying about others that there is nothing left for you. You are tired of just going through the motions. You want to feel calm, confident, and actually in control.
