Hi, I’m Emma.

I am a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) and RPN, Psychotherapist based in Ontario, a mother of two kids with complex needs, and someone who has spent a long time learning what it means to hold other people while also learning how to hold yourself.

My path into mental health work wasn’t a straight line. It was built on lived experience, a deep desire to replicate the impact one specific support person had on me during a really hard time in my teenage years, and an honest reckoning with burnout, identity, and what helping actually means.

I’m also a creator — writing on Substack, hosting my Sacred Pause podcast, and making content online that tries to share what I needed when I was in the thick of it. Real and honest about the duality of everyday life.

Right now, I’m in a season of growth — building my psychotherapy practice, saying yes to conversations that matter, and finding my way back to myself through, of all things, martial arts with my older kid and a newfound love for dirtbiking. Growth is strange and non-linear, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
