Hi! I’m Emilia and my pronouns are she/her.
I earned a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Western University, a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Psychology from York University, and two post-graduate certificates in sex therapy from the University of Guelph.
I began my career working with youth and adults experiencing Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as justice-involved and high-risk youth. Since then, I have focused primarily on post-traumatic stress and related difficulties among survivors of sexual and criminal violence.
Each day, I support survivors of various traumas, including childhood sexual abuse, rape, grooming, robbery, human trafficking, kidnapping, and assault. I have a special interest in supporting relationships in which one or more partners are affected by trauma.
I deeply understand how these experiences impact our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships, and I truly believe that relief is possible.
My approach is genuine, empathic, and directive. Recognizing that we often avoid the topics we need to discuss most, I promise to ask the hard questions while respecting your choice to answer them.
