About Erin

I am both a somatic therapist as well as a relationship therapist that works with individuals, couples, and families. I work as a Registered Psychotherapist trained in Somatic Experiencing and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I receive ongoing training and education in supporting partnered individuals through couples therapy and any adult members of the same family system through family therapy. I currently hold a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and an Honours Degree in African Studies, Cultural Anthropology, and Political Science from the University of Toronto.

As someone born and raised in several parts of Africa before moving to Canada, I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally meaningful care that considers both the whole person and the different identities a person may be navigating. My work is grounded in anti-oppressive approaches that are identity-affirming and 2SLGBTQI+ affirming.

I support clients who feel stuck or unsure about the path they’re on in life as well as those moving through a period of adjustment following big life changes. I also support those dealing with relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, burnout, loss or grief, as well as painful or distressing past experiences. Additionally, I work with couples and families looking for a supportive place to talk about difficult topics or challenging past experiences and those hoping to find both effective and meaningful ways to work through times of stress, conflict, or change together.

The somatic therapy I offer can help you make sense of your body’s responses to circumstances in your life and in your relationships. Somatic work together can include understanding patterns in your physiological stress responses, helping you become more attuned to your body, strengthening your ability to move more fluidly from overwhelm or dysregulation towards more balanced and regulated internal states, addressing emotional experiences or relational patterns held in your body that feel like they need to be processed as well as nurturing a greater sense of capacity and trust within your body.

Depending on what brings you to therapy, our sessions can be used to help you work towards processing and resolving whatever has been weighing on you. My hope is that as we work together you can both see and feel a positive change in your mental health while experiencing a meaningful sense of connection with self and others.
