Em's Vibes, Passions and Who she Sees
I’m especially passionate about working with teens, young adults, women, neurodivergent clients and LGBTQIA+ people.
I really enjoy supporting people who are trying to make sense of themselves, whether that’s understanding ADHD or autism, exploring identity, navigating relationships, dealing with anxiety or perfectionism, or moving through one of those life stages where everything suddenly feels a bit uncertain.
One of the things I find most meaningful in therapy is helping someone move from judging themselves for how they’re coping to becoming curious about why certain patterns developed in the first place.
My approach is warm and collaborative. I draw a lot from ACT, schema and self-compassion approaches, but I believe therapy should be flexible and tailored to each individual’s needs. Sometimes we might focus on practical strategies; other times, the most helpful thing is having space to slow down, untangle what’s happening, and understand yourself a little better.
But who is she outside of therapy?
Outside of psychology, a lot of the things that make me feel most like myself involve moving my body, spending time with people I love, and being outdoors and ideally, all three at once.
That might look like going for a walk with family or friends, heading to the beach, yoga or lifting weights. I love anything that gets me out of my head and back into the world around me.

Provisional Psychologist
Hi I’m the other Em :)
I’ve always been someone who is curious about why people feel, think and respond the way they do, but what I love most about psychology is getting to know the person underneath all of that.
I’m drawn to working with people who are used to being hard on themselves… the overthinkers, people-pleasers, perfectionists or the ones who keep pushing through even when they’re exhausted. Sometimes life can start to feel a little heavy with expectations and therapy can be a place to gently unpack some of that pressure.
A big part of the work I love is helping people understand themselves with a little more kindness and a little less judgement.
More than anything, I hope therapy feels like a space where you can exhale a little, feel understood, and leave with a clearer sense of what you need and what matters to you.
