My approach is integrative, so I draw on narrative therapy, mindfulness self-compassion, person-centred, solution focused brief therapy and other evidence-based therapeutic tools to tailor my approach according to my client's needs.
Greetings! I am a collaborative practitioner who enters the therapeutic space from a place of compassion and curiosity. Relationships are vital to our survival as a species. Therefore, connecting to others through relationship hold transformative power and fulfills our most basic human needs. So how do we engage with each other in a positive and vitalizing manner? I work primarily with individuals and couples who are experiencing a range of emotional difficulties and concerns including relationship conflict, lack of communication, sexual concerns, lack of intimacy, feeling of disconnection and isolation.

"Until you stop breathing, there's more right with you than wrong with you." (Jon Kabat-Zinn) This is also my guide and intention as a Registered Counselling Therapist. My work is to help an individual experience themselves differently while providing compassion, presence and skill in a safe space. I offer an integrated, eclectic approach that is based on each client's needs. Understanding attachment style, the effects of trauma and the mind-brain-body connection inform my therapeutic approach.

I combine client-centred, trauma-informed, and strength-based practices with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness.
Life can feel like a lot sometimes—whether it’s anxiety, burnout, or a major transition, finding balance isn’t always easy.

You’re looking for a space where you can feel supported, understood, and equipped with the right tools to move forward in a way that feels true to you. I’m Erin, a therapist at Risework Therapy. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, with influences from trauma-informed, and strength-based practices.

I provide holistic psychotherapy and wellness counselling to individuals and couples (18 y/o and up). I recognize that working through difficult life circumstances and/or challenging relationships can be stressful and isolating, resulting in feelings of anxiety, low mood, poor coping skills or a general sense of being stuck in a cycle of unhealthy patterns. To move forward, it’s important to honour our lived experiences, accept that deeper emotions are appropriate in certain situations and build trust in ourselves to know the difference.

Healing from trauma isn't about "fixing" something that's broken within you; it's a profound unravelling of rediscovering and embracing the parts of yourself that have remained hidden in the shadows of fear and chaos. It's about dismantling destructive patterns created out of survival so that you can reconnect and come home to your authentic SELF. It's about learning to live with a full range of experiences and emotions and feeling as though you are capable, worthy, and enough.

We are all thrown into this journey of life without our consent. While life can be astonishingly beautiful, it has a way of testing our limits and pushing us to our breaking point at times. I am here to offer you a guiding hand along the way and to provide you with additional support to navigate the rough waves of life. I offer sessions to adolescents, adults and couples, helping them with diverse concerns. I have an easy-going, non-judgemental attitude fostered on meeting the client with unconditional positive regard. I use a strength-based, person-centred approach, being mindful that the client is the expert of their own care.

If you’re tired of holding it all together, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.
Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, capable people who appear “fine” on the outside to those in their life, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical, or are struggling emotionally beneath the surface. You might be navigating anxiety, burnout, low mood, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, and finding that insight alone hasn’t provided you with relief.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is thoughtful, empathetic, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

I integrate EMDR, somatic, emotionally focused, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support healing and connection.
Trauma-informed, body-based therapy for teens, adults, and couples seeking greater safety, connection, and relief from overwhelm. You don’t have to be in crisis to know something isn’t quite right. Many of the people I work with appear to be coping on the outside, while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or struggling in their relationships. You may notice people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or a growing sense of disconnection from yourself or others.

I work with EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, Mindfulness & energy work.
Are you dealing with a recent trauma or trauma in childhood that you believe may be holding you back, getting easily triggered by things you feel should not be so hard to deal with. Do you feel sad or constantly anxious and worried, or feeling that life is pulling you down and you are not sure how to get back on track? Trauma/s, old beliefs and habitual patterns may be keeping you from finding enjoyment in your life. These things are challenging to deal with on your own sometimes, but by building awareness and strong inner resources and using body centered therapy techniques, you can live life with more peace and enjoyment.
