Hi there, I'm Erin. I've been a psychotherapist in private practice for 11 years now, working predominantly with individuals who suffer from the effects of abuse and trauma, especially in childhood, and are wanting to take steps on their personal journey. The people I seem to work best with are those who may identify as highly sensitive to the world around them - those who think, perceive, or feel deeply. My clinical experience includes working with anxiety and depression, complex trauma, grief, eating disorders, relationship issues, sexual trauma, adult children of alcoholics, and BPD.

I am seeing clients in Picton and online and occasionally in Toronto. I graduated in 1996 from two schools whose training requires therapists to do their own work before treating others. My approach is relational psychotherapy and is a very effective method brought to Toronto in the 1970's. I am pleased to offer it in PEC beginning 2021. I have been working individually with adults and children for nearly 30 years in Toronto before relocating to Picton. I help clients with communicating their feelings in difficult relationships and with understanding themselves. Along with talking, I use art to help clients express themselves.

We all come from vastly unique life experiences and identities, and there is no “one size fits all” way to heal and grow. I take an eclectic approach to therapy that is guided by my clients' individual needs.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment that values warmth, curiosity, and collaboration. I work through the lens of an intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework that centers you as the expert of your own experiences.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
