Life can bring changes and challenges. Over time, it can feel like something is inherently wrong with us, like we don’t belong, or that real change is out of reach. Many experience a feeling of losing their direction or purpose, and some get lost in a process where there are no clear answers. Although these feelings are natural, many of us feel stuck, wondering “What now?” As a Registered Therapist and someone who has walked that path myself, I can help you navigate (the often concurrent) challenges of changing relationships, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and changing roles.

I offer support to help you explore your needs, values, and priorities, enabling you to curate your next chapter with renewed intention and clarity. Together, we will explore what lights you up, what is important now, and ultimately, where you want to go from here.

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor registered with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada. Please feel free to book a free half-hour consultation with me to discuss your needs and goals. Please check with your provider to ensure you are covered under your plan for RTC, ACCT#3460, Supervision with K. Pinsonneault, RCC#12131.

Hi, I’m Emily. The experience of soul-seeking and wanting change in life is a common human experience. Sometimes this can mean we need support from someone else. We live in a world where connection has become less frequent or has less depth, and we may feel alone in our struggles. In my experience, we may struggle to find out why we are the way we are. I am here to support you in finding your way, whatever that looks like.

I believe in supporting people where they are at and believing in the ability of humans to grow and change through adversity. My goal as a counsellor is to help you find healing through self-discovery and building healthy coping skills. I am here to meet you where you are at and work together to create goals that will address your concerns or make changes that will help you to live the life you want to live.

I have worked with numerous populations, and currently am happy to work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults who experience a variety of concerns. This includes a background in mental health and addictions, eating disorders, and codependency. I work from a strengths-based lens in order to help relieve stress, shame, guilt, grief, anxiety, depression and burnout.

I offer a refuge for anyone who desires change by using an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens. I will walk beside you and support you in finding healing by exploring Schema Therapy, Somatic or body-based nervous system healing, restorative attachment therapy, Family Systems or intergenerational patterns, and Emotion-focused therapy.

Hello! I’m glad you found me.

I have worked with a diversity of clients in both clinical and community settings, including high school, crisis intervention, and detox spaces. When working with clients, it is important that we find a pace and approaches that are best suited to for you. I draw from different approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Existential and Narrative therapies. All are built on a client-centred, trauma-informed, humanistic foundation. Supporting clients to reach their goals has provided rich experiences that continue to informed my therapeutic practice.

My first undergraduate degree, in philosophy, instilled in me a passion for sharing insights on navigating life.. My second degree, in psychology, better equipped me to understand how the mind and the body work in tandem. And my current degree, a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, nearly completed, has furnished me with the skills and awareness of how best to support clients on their own journeys. I look forward to the honour of walking alongside you on yours.
