My name is Emily, welcome to my practice located at Birch Wellness Center! I’m a Registered Psychiatric Nurse with seven years of experience across acute inpatient psychiatry, emergency mental health, crisis intervention, and dementia care. I now run a private counselling practice in Winnipeg, where I work with adults navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and trauma-related challenges. I’m also in the process of completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, which further supports my work and deepens the ways I can walk alongside clients in their healing.

My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. I am trained in Brainspotting — a powerful mind-body therapy designed to help process trauma and emotional overwhelm. I also draw from Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, and somatic strategies to support clients in reconnecting with themselves, processing the past, and building new ways of being.

I’m most drawn to working with individuals who are exploring the impact of trauma, attachment wounds, and communication patterns in relationships. I particularly enjoy inner child work and helping people better understand how early life experiences continue to shape their present-day self-talk, emotional reactions, and ways of relating to others.

Outside of work, you can often find me hiking, reading, or spending time with my husband and our golden retriever, Gretchen — who occasionally joins me in session for some extra warmth and tail wags.
