About Emily…

 

Hi, I’m Emily — Registered Clinical Counsellor

Welcome. I’m truly glad you’ve found your way here.

I support children, families, individuals, and couples who are seeking deeper connection, emotional clarity, and meaningful change. My work is grounded in the belief that people heal and grow best within safe, attuned, and compassionate relationships — including the relationship we develop together in therapy.

I draw from attachment-based and humanistic modalities, including:

  • Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)

  • Sand tray & expressive therapies

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples

  • Person-Centered Therapy (PCT)

  • Parent–Child Relationship Therapy (CPRT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) as a hope-boosting complement

Across all ages and stages, my approach remains steady:
warm, relational, non-judgmental, and deeply attuned.

What I Believe About Healing

Healing doesn’t happen through pressure or perfection.
It happens through connection, safety, and understanding.

In my practice, you’ll find:

✨ a place to slow down
✨ a place to feel seen
✨ a place to understand your emotions
✨ a place to strengthen the relationships that matter most
✨ a place to reconnect with self-love, trust, and meaning

You don’t need to come into therapy knowing where to begin — we’ll find that together.

Who I Love Working With

I feel especially connected to clients who are:

  • longing for emotional closeness

  • tired of surviving and wanting to truly live

  • seeking meaning, purpose, or identity

  • wanting to be better parents or partners

  • healing attachment injuries

  • craving self-love and inner peace

  • working in high-stress or caregiving roles (including first responders)

If what you want most is connection — with your child, your partner, or yourself — I may be the right fit.

My Approach in a Few Words

Warm. Grounded. Attuned.
Humanistic. Emotion-focused. Attachment-based.

You don’t have to hold your feelings alone.
You don’t have to navigate relationships without support.
You don’t have to quiet your needs or hide parts of yourself anymore.

You deserve a life rooted in connection — and together we can help you move toward it.

When I am not at work, you can often find me outside enjoying the beauty of the Fraser Valley. I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, cold-plunging, nature walks and really anything that takes me to new places, or pushes me physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Traveling has been an incredibly enriching experience for me, offering opportunities to explore new cultures, broaden my perspectives, and deepen my understanding of the world. It allows me to step outside my comfort zone, embrace diversity, and create lasting memories that shape who I am. Connecting with family, friends, and others is essential for my emotional well-being and personal growth. Meaningful relationships provide me with support, encouragement, and a sense of belonging, helping me navigate life’s challenges and celebrate its joys. These connections enrich my life, fostering a sense of community and reminding me that I’m not alone in my experiences.
