I’m Emily (she/her). I’m a Registered Psychotherapist offering virtual psychotherapy for individual youth and adults. I’m committed to a relational approach to therapy and I incorporate experiential, phenomenological, and arts-based methods into my sessions. I provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration and reflection. I offer interventions that integrate talk therapy and the use of visual arts, music, voice, drama, dance/movement, and creative writing to help expand a client’s range of play and create space for safety, connection, and personal exploration. I work from a feminist, intersubjective, relational perspective, with an approach that is person-centered, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, and I’m sex/kink/poly/body/sex work positive.

I’m a graduate of the MEd program in Counselling Psychology at OISE, University of Toronto and I’ve completed a diploma in Expressive Arts Therapy at the Create Institute. In addition to working in private practice, I have experience at the University of Toronto Mississauga Career Centre, the Create Clinic, North York Women’s Shelter, The Gatehouse, Full Circle Art Therapy Centre, L’Arche Toronto, Purple Carrots Drama Studio, and Rhythmic by Nature. I’ve partnered with clients on: confidence, self-esteem and self-worth, gender, sexuality, relationships, careers, grief, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, sexual and domestic violence, neurodivergence, disability, depression, and anxiety.

I’m a white, bi+/queer, disabled/hard of hearing settler and I practice in Peterborough, part of Treaty 20, and in the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nation, which include: Alderville, Beausoleil, Curve Lake, Georgina Island, Hiawatha, Rama and Scugog Island First Nation. I’m grateful to live, make art, and work on this land.
