Accepting NEW & returning clients As a counsellor working with children (10+), youth, and adults, I am committed to guiding people on this journey called life. Whether you seek specific support for anxiety, depression, grief & loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem and perfectionism, or you simply need a place to explore and reflect, I am here to walk alongside you, offering a safe and empowering space where you feel seen and supported.

After working in education for almost 15 years as a teacher, school counsellor, vice-principal, and case manager, I am now doing the work that brings me the most fulfillment and joy. My work as a therapist is grounded in the belief that everything is interconnected, and we are all capable of healing, growing, and changing. With compassion, curiosity and sometimes a little bit of humour, help people examine the parts of themselves and their life that feel challenging.

My counselling approach is neuro-affirmative, holistic, person-centred, and collaborative, which means as much as together we explore what works best for you. I am inspired by therapeutic approaches that help clients explore the stories and beliefs they have about themselves (narrative therapy), tend to the parts of themselves that need care and attention (IFS), and that balance acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with commitment to values and change (ACT and DBT). In my work, I incorporate drawing, writing, and mindfulness in addition to talking as ways to process experiences and emotions. I offer walk & talk sessions for those who love to be outside in nature. I have a special interest in working with children, youth, and (young) adults navigating the emotional impact of climate change and the challenges of our time.

In addition to offering my counselling services at Treehouse, I work short stints as a sea kayak guide in the coastal waters of Vancouver Island in the summer and as a polar guide in Antarctica in the winter. In these roles, I get a chance to help folks (re)connect to the natural world and to educate about and advocate for the protection and preservation of vulnerable and unique ecosystems.

Emily is a Master of Counselling practicum student who works with youth and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationships, burnout, substance use, disconnection, and the impacts of interpersonal violence.

Her approach is relational and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that no experience tells the whole story of who we are. Rather than moving quickly toward explanation, Emily is interested in staying close to what has happened: what mattered, how someone responded, what they protected, and what helped them keep going.

Emily has completed foundational training in Narrative Therapy and Response-Based Practice, alongside additional training in somatic studies. She pays attention to language, context, relationships, power, dignity, and the ways experience can live in the body before it has words. As a visual thinker, Emily is also drawn to imagery and metaphor as ways of giving shape to experiences that may be difficult to name directly.

Emily offers a collaborative space that can hold both depth and lightness. A space where experiences do not have to be hurried into meaning, and where clients can notice what has remained present alongside pain or survival, including parts of themselves and possibilities that may have been harder to see.

Currently Full - accepting clients for a waitlist I work with adults, couples, and families who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves or from the people they love. With a focus on people navigating some fo the life’s most difficult terrain – relationship breakdown, mood and anxiety, addiction, infidelity, trauma, burnout, suicidal ideation, and the kind of disconnection that’s hard to put into words. Through a trauma-informed and relational approach, we work together to process painful experiences and patterns so that you can begin to feel more grounded, intentional, and empowered. Many clients notice increased emotional steadiness, greater ease, and a deeper sense of wellbeing and connection—both within themselves and in their relationships.

My approach is trauma-informed and deeply relational. Together, we work to understand the experiences and patterns that have been holding you back for lasting change. With over 10 years of experience and training in self-compassion, mindfulness, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), I draw from approaches that support both nervous system regulation and relational healing.

I have a special interest in working with couples and partnerships of all orientations and constellations. I support you to repair relationship wounds, improve communication, deepen emotional and sexual intimacy, and build relationships that feel safer, more connected, and more fulfilling.

Whatever brought you here, I’m glad you found your way. You don’t need to have the words yet, or know exactly what you need — just a quiet sense that you’re ready for things to feel different. Reaching out doesn’t commit you to anything. It’s simply a conversation to see if working together feels right. I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
