Life can be extremely painful and difficult, especially when you don't have healthy relationships with people that you trust, or that understand you. Authentic connection to self and others is a fundamental need for humans, and without it we can feel even more alone, empty, depressed, anxious, or we can feel that life is meaningless. Not everyone we know is able to handle the weight of our struggles, and this can make it harder to reach out when support is needed. We also may be afraid to burden others with our problems, or we may feel that something is "wrong" with us if we seek help, causing us to suffer in silence.

I work with the body/mind, your nervous system is pivotal in our sessions together.
I work in an inclusive way welcoming all the dimensions of who you are.
My values and principles come from yogic, Buddhist, catholic traditions.
Each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. The individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health.
We also need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings to be healthy.

Are you holding it together on the outside but on the inside it feels VERY different? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you should be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. I believe change happens through compassionate accompaniment in intentionally held spaces that allow us to explore and integrate parts of ourselves that are causing inner tensions. Through an accepting and supportive environment therapy helps to regulate emotion and promote lasting change.

You’ve taken a courageous step in seeking support, and I’m glad you’re here. You are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware yet find yourself repeating familiar emotional or relational loops. Past trauma, cultural expectations, or personality dynamics can make change feel difficult. I help adults recognize and identify these patterns and shift them safely and effectively so they can move beyond coping and experience lasting transformation. My strong clinical lens allows me to provide highly specialized care, balancing evidence-based treatment with an understanding of South Asian cultural dynamics and intergenerational expectations.

I know how vulnerable it can feel to open up in therapy. Sharing our deepest concerns and hoping they’ll be met with warmth is such a human experience and I know this firsthand as someone who also goes to therapy myself. That’s why I show up with compassion, and curiosity to create a space where all parts of you are welcome! My name is Daniel Oommen and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Sexologist. At my practice, I specialize in sex therapy, couples therapy, and trauma therapy. My hope is to support change that feels both meaningful and sustainable, without ever rushing the process.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship pain, or the weight of trying to hold everything together on your own. Perhaps you’ve spent years people-pleasing, overthinking, surviving difficult relationships, or disconnecting from yourself just to get through the day. Many of the clients I work with feel exhausted, emotionally stuck, uncertain of who they are beneath life’s pressures, or trapped in painful patterns they can’t seem to break. Whether you’re struggling with depression, perfectionism, addiction, narcissistic abuse, PTSD, dissociation, grief, or childhood trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You’re a deep-feeling, thoughtful person trying to make sense of yourself, your relationships, and the world, but it’s felt overwhelming lately. Maybe you’ve just been diagnosed, are exploring a new relationship style, or are navigating a mismatch in how your brain works compared to someone you love. You’re looking for a space to be understood without needing to explain every part of yourself, and support that feels grounding, curious, and authentic.

I prioritize the safety, dignity and health of my clients in all of our interactions. I consider the work we do together to be a healing space that honors your individual lived experience.
I encourage my clients that connect by phone to engage in a “walk and talk” modality (if physical ability and safety permits). This meets several goals: connection, movement, bilateral stimulation (such as used in EMDR), and a connection to nature and the community.
I also offer in person counselling and EMDR at my east van location and equine assisted psychotherapy with my own horses in Langley.
I’m looking forward to working with you!

Have you ever felt that you appear to be doing well on the outside while quietly struggling within? Anxiety that is hard to explain, repeated hurt in relationships, or a lingering sense of exhaustion can leave you feeling lost or disconnected. Therapy offers a calm, non-judgmental space to gently explore your inner experiences. It is not only about solving problems, but about reconnecting with yourself, understanding emotional patterns, and moving toward a more grounded and meaningful way of living.

I work with kids, youth, and families who are looking for support with big feelings, boundaries, life transitions, and other challenges that often come along with growing up. I aim to provide a warm and non-judgmental space for kids to travel at their own pace towards personal growth and self-understanding.

I work best with people in transition, especially midlife transition, who are shedding past obligations and personas, and hearing an inner call to live more authentically. This liminal time can bring anxiety and shame, wounds from the past needing grieving to move forward. Many of us are aware of our patterns but find ourselves compelled to repeat them. I've been a therapist for 17 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR, Ego State Therapy, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) halfway through my career. These powerful modalities heal from the root.

Are you feeling that things are heavier than usual?
You might be adjusting to a new country, a new job, a new role as a parent, or navigating a major life transition and noticing that what used to work no longer helps. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.
I offer a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic space tailored to your needs. We begin by understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. Together, we can build emotional awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and identify meaningful changes that feel sustainable.

Hello, I’m Erica.
I love and am trained to work with any individual or couple/family older than 18. I see 1:1 therapy as a space to come closer to your own truth by understanding yourself more deeply, and couple/family therapy as a space to slow down and see the patterns you create together.

Being a human is hard. Sometimes, the waves of the human experience feel like they’re engulfing us, and we feel swallowed up by sorrow, terror, shame, stress, or confusion. Other times, we may feel so disconnected from ourselves and the world around us that we wonder if a meaningful life is possible. Perhaps there are parts of your mind and heart that are fighting with each other, and you’re wrestling with constant inner turmoil. Or maybe you are tired of repeating the same old patterns and finding yourself in the same place you once were: frustrated and perplexed as to how you can break out of a cycle that is no longer serving you.

Your yearning for joy, creative expression, and contentment may be your psyche/ soul’s way of telling you that it’s time to cultivate inner connections. If you need support in quieting the external chatter, to tune into your inner wisdom, I'm here to hold space for you. Expressing yourself and authentically relating to others can be challenging if you are struggling with overwhelming or numbed emotions. I offer counselling and EMDR therapy for those with trauma (religious, childhood or otherwise), support for creative people, and those feeling depressed, anxious, or who wish to deepen their connection to purpose and meaning.
