about me
Hello, my name is Emily (she/her)! I'm a clinical director and one of the therapists here at Providence.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling from Athabasca University and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor RCC.
Hello! I’m Emily, clinical director and one of the therapists at Providence Therapy. I’ve spent over a decade working in diverse mental health settings, from private practice to community and non-profit spaces, which has given me the privilege of supporting a wide range of people through life’s challenges. My journey has been deeply shaped by my focus on trauma-exposed professionals, first responders, caregivers, and families navigating complex life circumstances.
I’m passionate about integrating evidence-based trauma therapies with neurofeedback and somatic approaches to foster nervous system regulation, healing, and resilience. I also bring lived experience in parenting, first responder life, cancer care, and caregiving, which enriches my understanding and connection with the clients I serve.
I believe that everyone is doing the best they can within the contexts of their lives, and that sometimes there are things that hold people back from showing up how they'd like to. When caring for others in your professional or personal lives, it can be hard to intentionally set aside time for your own recovery and support, escape burnout and compassion fatigue, and find the right therapist who understands your experience on a personal level.
I recognize that everyone is unique and has their own important story to share. You are the expert in your experiences and story, and I am here to support you along the way with the expertise and experience I bring from the world of counselling and mental health. Together, we will work collaboratively on the goals you feel are important. While we will discuss and process the challenges that bring you to therapy, we will also create room to resource how you have coped and survived up until now, ensuring you feel supported and encouraged every step of the way.
In relationship therapy, I strive to create a brave space where you and your partner, family member, or friend can feel supported to connect and work together as a team-facing challenges and deepening the strength of your bond.
My hope is that you feel safe, seen, and supported in our time together. My aim is to empower you-in whatever season you find yourself-to seek fuller understanding of your experience, walk away with a compassionate and embodied perspective on the challenges of being human, and gain tangible tools to navigate difficulties outside of the therapy room.
I provide individualized, compassionate care tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from my formal training in OEI Level 2, LENS Neurofeedback, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional standards, and Gottman Couples Therapy, among others. I use a blend of trauma-informed practices, somatic and embodiment work, narrative therapy, and acceptance-based approaches, including ACT and self-compassion.
I primarily support adults and couples, focusing on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, identity, values, boundaries, and substance use. My specialty lies in working with professional helpers (first responders, nurses, social workers) and their families, guiding them through trauma recovery, burnout, caregiving challenges, cancer care support, and relational healing.
I continually expand my skills through trainings in narrative therapy, embodied and somatic practices, IFS-informed parts work, grief and loss, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), ACT, and self-compassion methods.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me with a cup of coffee or tea in hand; I’m currently loving soy matcha lattes the most! Some of the things that ground me: colourful clouds during sunset, the smell of sandalwood, and the sound of my bulldog snoring beside me.
