Hey, I'm Emma
I provide integrative relational trauma therapy rooted in gently understanding how the past shapes us, while focusing on existing strengths to increase present moment awareness, resiliency, and self-compassion.

A Little About Me
I am a Registered Social Worker in London, Ontario, with nearly a decade of experience working alongside children, youth and adults embarking on their healing journeys.
I have worked with many people during some of their most difficult life experiences, and I am continuously inspired by the incredible skills and dedication to healing that individuals possess. I work from a strengths-based approach where I believe everyone has unique resources and strengths that assist them in their pathway to well-being, and I believe that you are the expert on your own life. At the same time, I am also aware that periods of life can feel chaotic, overwhelming, lonely, and exhausting, and no one should have to manage these things alone.
I primarily work with teens and adults 14+, specializing in trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I view therapy as a space for strengthening your sense of self, improving your relationships, and gaining insight which can help inform the development of coping strategies that will work for you. Most importantly, therapy can help shed light on the strengths you already have.
As a relational and trauma-informed therapist, it is my goal to create a compassionate, warm, and genuine therapeutic environment for you where you feel safe, supported, and respected. I draw from Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), relational approaches, Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal and somatic approaches, and attachment-focused work.
I take a collaborative approach with clients, where we create an individualized plan focused on your goals. I would be honoured to work alongside you as you move towards living a life in line with your hopes, values, and preferences.
Long before I pursued education in therapy, I went to school for music, and you could find me playing little shows (singing and playing guitar) around the city at various pubs and fundraisers!
