BSc Biology, MSc OT
Emily completed her Master of Occupational Therapy Degree from Queen's Univeristy. Shortly after, she returned home to BC to step into her passions of working and playing in rural communities. She enjoys working in a variety of practice areas, with special interests in acceptance and commitment therapy, coping skills and self-care, post-concussion management, and wheelchair seating and equipment prescriptions. Emily strives to build collaborative relationships with all clients she encounters, provide a non-judgmental lens through which she delivers care, and create a safe space where occupational potential is realized.
