Emily’s professional and educational accomplishments have built on one another to create the role she is in now. Emily’s dual position as Kells Psychology’s Associate Director and Registered Provisional Psychologist has
her drawing upon her years of experience as coach, mentor, and group facilitator to work with clients while applying her training in business and communications to advance psychology. She loves this balance of directly helping alongside global planning and management.
Emily is a warm, caring person with a passion for helping people heal and grow. She believes that all people have the ability to heal and that they are the experts on what that might look like.
