I am a mother of three beautiful children who constantly keep me on my toes, and often serve as my motivation to continue to learn and grow, and better myself as a person and as a professional.

I have had a great deal of success working with children and their parents for many childhood issues such as behavior problems, ADHD, anxiety and so on.
My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!

Hi! I'm Emilee and I am a graduate of Briercrest Seminary with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Before I started counselling I used my background of Early Childhood Education to work with children in daycare, playschool settings as well as a nanny. These years working with children and their families led me to counselling as a way to support entire families by supporting the individual members.
