ABOUT

Hi, I’m Erika.

Hi, I’m Erika.

I’m a psychotherapist who cares about the whole person in the room: the parts that are holding everything together, and the parts that are tired of doing so.

I’m a psychotherapist who cares about the whole person in the room: the parts that are holding everything together, and the parts that are tired of doing so.

I work with adults and young adults who often look capable from the outside while feeling stretched, uncertain, or disconnected on the inside. Some arrive knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others arrive with a feeling they can’t quite name. Both are good places to start.

Therapy can be both a place to understand yourself and a place to figure out what might actually help.

Therapy can be both a place to understand yourself and a place to figure out what might actually help.

Some of our time may go toward slowing down and looking underneath: where a pattern began, what a feeling is pointing to, what you learned to do to get by.

And some of it may be practical: what you want to try this week, how to have a hard conversation, what support might make a busy season feel more manageable. I think both matter, and we can move between them.

HOW I WORK

Collaborative, and shaped around you.

Collaborative, and shaped around you.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw from more than one way of working rather than fitting everyone into a single method. We’ll figure out together what feels useful.

That might include noticing the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, exploring how past experiences show up in the present, or building concrete strategies for the things that feel hardest day to day.

I’ll share what I notice, and I’ll check in about what is and isn’t working for you. You don’t need to agree with me to be a good client.

WHAT I BRING INTO THE ROOM

Warmth

A relationship that feels human rather than formal, where you can laugh, pause, or not know.

Curiosity

Interest in how your experiences fit together, without rushing to label them.

Collaboration

You know your life best. I bring questions, observations and tools, and we decide together.

Cultural awareness

Room for family, culture, identity and the expectations that come with them.

Practical support

Ideas you can actually take into your week, when that’s what would help.
