Emily is a Registered Psychotherapist at O.W.L. Counselling & Wellness, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, addiction and substance use, and the people-pleasing patterns that leave so many of us exhausted and disconnected from our own needs. She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Science.
Emily’s background in addictions and mental health gave her a deep respect for how important it is to build a solid foundation. Her approach is holistic, client-centred, and individual, because everyone is different and needs a different path. She helps clients set healthier boundaries, find relief from stress and burnout, and make changes that fit their lives, with a harm reduction lens that meets people where they are.
Emily is collaborative and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and harm reduction. Rather than expecting clients to fit one model, she tailors therapy to each person.
Her priority is a safe space where clients can open up and share their experiences. Emily knows how hard it can be to reach out and find the right fit between therapist and client, which is why she offers a free 15-minute consultation to talk through your goals and see if therapy together feels right. Let’s start with a chat and see how her approach can help.
