About Erica
Often my clients are wanting to explore a personal issue/problem/feeling that won’t go away and is starting to affect almost every part of their life. Advice from friends or family isn’t helping and nothing else they have tried has worked. They believe there must be a better way to be but somehow they are just stuck. I can help you tackle your issues, get unstuck, and find that better place. Both personally and professionally, I can attest to the power of awareness as a key factor in facilitating a desired change; We can’t find the truth listening to our own voice’s echo. We can find ourselves only in someone’s mirror (Rumi, n.d)
In my practice, EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has helped many clients of all ages move beyond stress, anxiety, grief, or depression towards greater confidence, self-esteem, authenticity, and passion. I have a Bachelor of Arts, Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and training in trauma and complex trauma along with extensive experience working with airline personnel. Additionally, I hold a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certificate, one of the most respected nutrition coaching organizations worldwide. Working together, you and I will identify core issues and how to achieve your goals in a holistic way that aligns with your best self.
As a trained and registered clinical counsellor, I offer a client-centered, collaborative approach in creating your own holistic treatment plan, based on current and evidence-based research.
