MC, Registered Social Worker

***Emma is accepting new clients**

Working with children & parents who need some support!

Over my 10 years as a Registered Social Worker, I have developed a passion for supporting children, youth, and families living with concurrent diagnoses including but not limited to those living with disabilities, emotional regulation concerns, neurodiversity, anxiety and depression, trauma, and behavioural concerns.

I recently finished my Master of Counselling Psychology through Athabasca University. My clinical counsellor registration is in progress.

I regularly use a play therapy approach directly with children, as well as provide parent and family support. I am currently completing play therapy training and anticipate being a Certified Play Therapist soon! I offer an integrated counselling approach in which I pull from various theoretical frameworks and techniques in order to tailor counselling support for each individual client.

Some of the counselling theories I utilize are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness based approaches, Narrative Based Techniques, Trauma Informed Care approaches, and Play Therapy Techniques.

I offer concrete, objective strategies alongside an environment of understanding and empathy for the human experience. 

I believe that no matter the challenges or diagnoses children, youth, and families are faced with, there is always a way to live your fullest life and I am committed to supporting you in achieving your goals and move beyond the current problem into a better life experience.
