About Me
Hi, I’m Emily!
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC.
I work with people who give a lot of themselves, and I know what it means to show up for others day after day. I understand that world, both professionally and personally. I’ve been close to first responder family life, cancer, chronic illness, and the kind of caregiving that doesn’t come with a manual.
Many of my clients are the people others lean on: first responders, caregivers, and other helping professionals. They’re often so focused on caring for everyone else that their own needs quietly slip to the bottom of the list.
I’ve built this practice with you in mind.
Clients often describe me as warm and down-to-earth. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered enough to make meaningful change.
Outside of the office, you'll usually find me with an iced coffee in hand, exploring local parks with my family, or spending a quiet evening at home with our bulldog, Brucie. The seasons of life have taught me to appreciate both the adventure and the ordinary, and I bring that same perspective into my work with clients.
