About Emily

Hello, I’m Emily, a Registered Clinical Counsellor working with teens (13+) and adults. I’m dedicated to empowering individuals as they navigate the complexities of anxiety and related disorders like OCD and OCPD, or those feeling like their perfectionism is interfering with their quality of life. My passion is helping guide my clients towards living authentically, embracing their true selves, and aligning their actions with their core values, rather than seeking external validation, succumbing to people-pleasing, or compulsive behaviors.

I’ve witnessed how suffering for some can be minimized because externally they exhibit high levels of functioning, achievement, reliability, and manage high levels of responsibility. Yet, beneath this exterior, they may grapple with feelings of disconnection, loneliness, inadequacy, and negative self image.

Through a client-centered approach, I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Together, we can work toward releasing you from impossibly high standards and critical self talk.

If you’re looking to break free from the confines of anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, or a related concern and instead live according to your core values, I’m here to provide support.

If you think I might be a good fit for you, contact me via email, phone, or book a free 20-minute consultation.

Please note that I cannot accept clients under the age of 19 that reside in Mission, BC.
