About Emerald

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a background in psychology and a passion for helping people understand themselves more deeply, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful change.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over five years supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, including neurodivergent individuals. During that time, I saw firsthand that no two people experience the world in the same way, which continues to shape the way I approach therapy today.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, flexible, trauma informed, and holistic. I believe that therapy should be personalized to each individual, honouring their unique experiences, strengths, and the pace of their own growth. A holistic approach means looking at the whole person, including their thoughts, emotions, relationships, experiences, and the ways they connect with themselves and the world around them. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to explore your experiences at your own pace.

My goal is to help you gain clarity, better understand yourself and your internal world, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

Outside of counselling, I enjoy spending time in nature, gardening, and connecting with my dog, horse, and cat. Being outdoors and caring for animals have always been meaningful parts of my life and are some of the ways I recharge, stay grounded, and continue to nurture my own sense of connection and balance.
