Step into Nature,

with Intentional Wellness Therapy

“Just as the seasons change, so do we. Healing is like the rhythm of nature—sometimes slow like the turning of leaves, sometimes sudden like a rushing river. Therapy is a path through the wilderness of life, helping you find clarity, resilience, and a sense of home within yourself.”

  • Stress & Burnout

    Chronic stress can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, and overwhelmed. Therapy provides a safe space to explore the root causes of your stress, develop healthy coping strategies, and create sustainable boundaries. We’ll work together to restore balance and regain the energy and motivation you need to thrive, not just survive.

  • Anxiety & Depression

    Living with depression and anxiety can leave you feeling lost, empty, and weighed down by fear. We provide support to help you manage these challenges, develop coping skills, and reconnect with hope and purpose. In our work together, we’ll explore how to live fearlessly, empowering you to navigate life with confidence, strength, and resilience.

  • Borderline Personality Disorder

    Often misunderstood, BPD typically develops from a place of trauma and deep emotional suffering. We provide a trauma-informed, non-judgmental space to help you understand and manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth. Together, we’ll work towards healing, resilience, and a path to living more confidently and authentically.

  • Low Self-Esteem & Perfectionism

    Perfectionism often shows up as self-doubt or the belief that nothing is ever good enough. We provide support to help you challenge perfectionistic tendencies and build a healthier sense of self-worth. Together, we’ll focus on embracing your strengths, releasing unrealistic expectations, and learning to accept yourself with compassion and confidence.

Where it all started…

Emily grew up in a big family in a small town north of Toronto, where the quiet of the woods became her safe place. Amidst the busyness of home life, she found peace and belonging in nature—a connection that has stayed with her ever since.

With lived experience navigating mental illness, trauma, and the pressures of modern life, Emily understands firsthand the complexities of healing and growth. This personal journey led her to pursue a career in social work, where she combines professional expertise with a deep appreciation for the outdoors.

Emily founded Intentional Wellness Therapy in March 2023, combining her passion for social work, psychotherapy, and the outdoors to offer a unique therapeutic experience. Through Walk and Talk Therapy, she integrates the healing benefits of movement and nature, providing clients with a space for reflection, peace, and growth in natural settings.

Emily earned her Bachelor of Social Work from Lakehead University in 2014 and her Master of Social Work from the University of Windsor in 2022. Her professional journey in community and hospital social work provided valuable experience, ultimately leading her to develop her private practice, where she continues to support clients in meaningful and transformative ways.

Over the years, she has gained extensive experience hiking throughout the region, backcountry camping across southern Ontario, and canoeing its many lakes. Currently, Emily is exploring nature-based therapy training, with the goal of incorporating it more fully into her practice by 2030. She believes in the restorative power of nature and its ability to foster healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
