About Erin

I work predominantly with individuals who suffer from the effects of abuse and trauma, especially in childhood, and are ready to take steps on their personal journey of becoming a truer, fuller version of themselves. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of sense of self or direction, complex trauma, eating disorders, chronic relationship issues, sexual trauma, adult children of alcoholics, and specialize in BPD. If you do not identify with any of these words, that's okay too - I welcome anyone who is ready and willing to deep dive and be on a journey of self-realization, discovery and/or healing. I offer a free consultation or a first full session at a reduced rate to see if my personality and approach will be right for you.

I have been in private practice since 2014 and am a Registered Psychotherapist (#005898) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I’ve trained at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, and continue my education at other longstanding institutes across North America. My academic background is in philosophy and literature. I remain invested in my professional development by continuing my education in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and Jungian psychology, and participate in ongoing clinical supervision, workshops, and conferences. I strive to function from a psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, feminist, anti-racist, and queer-positive framework.
