Hi! I’m Emilia – Founder of New Moon Psychotherapy and a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Western University and a BA (Honors) in Psychology from York University.
I started my career working with youth and adults experiencing Borderline Personality Disorder before moving on to justice involved and high-risk youth. Since, I have focused my work primarily on post-traumatic stress and related difficulties such as:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & complex trauma
- Substance Use/Abuse
- Suicide Ideation and Self-Injury
- Emotion Dysregulation
- Anxiety Disorders
- Perfectionism and Self-Criticism
I specialize in helping youth, adults, and couples heal from difficult life experiences including emotional/sexual/physical abuse, medical trauma, infidelity, and bullying. I’m committed to using evidence-based approaches. These are therapies that have been heavily researched and can be effectively used to treat the difficulties that you want to change.
The difficult experiences you’ve had to endure can leave you feeling stuck in thinking that life can’t get better or that you’re not capable of growth. My goal is to empower you to see your strengths, to overcome your difficulties, and to transform your life.
