About Erica

My approach to counselling is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I believe therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building on the strengths you already have.

Many people come to counselling feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. They may be navigating perfectionism, people pleasing, family relationships, life transitions, self-worth, or trying to balance different expectations. Sometimes, after years of putting others first or trying to become the person they believe they should be, it can become difficult to know what they truly need or who they are outside of those roles.

As an immigrant, I understand how our families, cultures, and lived experiences shape the way we see ourselves. While every person’s story is unique, I have a particular passion for supporting individuals navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and the guilt and shame that can arise when trying to balance different values, responsibilities, and expectations.

I believe people are not defined by the challenges they face. My role is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and support you in making choices that feel more aligned with who you are and what matters most to you. While therapy can involve difficult conversations, I also believe there is room for curiosity, humour, and celebrating the small wins along the way.
