About
Em
Em enjoys working collaboratively with clients to codevelop a therapeutic space and a strengths-based plan based on their individual needs, goals, strengths and abilities. They approach the clinical work with a play-based growth mindset. Em wants every client to feel empowered as their own agent of change as well as to feel supported, seen and heard.
In their free time, Em enjoys playing games and going on adventures with their partner and dog. A quality soundtrack is always a must on these adventures, whether that’s music, audiobooks or podcasts.
