Hi I am Erin, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and have completed a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have been working in the field of mental health and social services for 6 years, mainly in the areas of child welfare, family violence, gender-based violence, and system navigation. This has broadened my understanding of how the intersecting experiences of our lives inform the stories we tell ourselves. My approach to therapy is trauma informed, strengths based, and non-judgemental. I strive to create a warm and safe environment which honours the individual needs of each client I work with.
Prior to completing my masters degree, I pursued a degree in Fine Arts. This has allowed me to incorporate expressive arts techniques within session, for clients of all ages who are interested, or curious about this approach. Having worked with children and youth who are non-verbal, I have seen the benefits of using creative expression to explore the stories we hold within. I am interested in the approaches of Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. Outside of my work, you will find me spending time with my Golden Retriever, going camping, or listening to podcasts!”
