I work with the challenges of adult life.
Often the unexpected and possibly unaccepted aspects of being human.

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.

You’ve been holding everything together for everyone—but inside, you’re running on empty. Maybe you’re snapping more than you want to, feeling distant from your partner, or worried about your teen pulling away. You just want things to feel calm again. To breathe. To connect.

Ever catch yourself thinking, “Why does everything feel like such a mess?”
Maybe you’re trying to balance work, relationships, and family while feeling like you’re not getting anywhere. Or you’re a parent determined to do things differently with your kids, yet the same patterns keep showing up. When life feels overwhelming and quick fixes haven’t helped, it can be exhausting and discouraging.

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

Do you feel like you're constantly trying to escape your anxiety, just to find it around every corner? Anxiety is tricky this way. We all need some level of anxiety to help us protect ourselves from the truly scary things out there, but it can be exhausting to have never-ending worry about things that maybe aren't so bad, especially when it starts getting in the way of feeling good and doing the things you want to be doing. If this sounds like what you go through, you are probably looking for a way to harness your anxiety, so you can get back to feeling like you again.

How many times have you caught yourself thinking, “Seriously, what is going on with my life?” Maybe you’re feeling the weight of juggling work, strained relationships, and the constant pressure to keep it all together—while barely managing to stay afloat. If you’re a parent, you might be determined to do better for your kids, but sometimes, it feels like the old cycles are creeping back in. It's exhausting and can feel like nothing really sticks, no matter what you try. I don’t believe in quick fixes or easy answers, because, let’s be honest, they don’t work in the long run!

Welcome, I’m Alicia. I use EMDR therapy to process trauma and experiences that still shape how you feel, think, and respond. This work targets what remains stuck beneath the surface and creates real, lasting change. Together, we make sense of patterns, build self-trust, and shift how you relate to yourself and others. My style is direct, grounded, and attuned, offering a space that is both supportive and focused, where meaningful work can unfold.
Alongside trauma work, I support athletes and creatives in clearing blocks, accessing flow, and performing with clarity and confidence.

You may be contemplating therapy because you are struggling - feeling anxious, overwhelmed, unsettled, isolated and alone, maybe even experiencing uncharacteristic rage. You may be stuck in old patterns of coping that are no longer relevant in the present. In fact, they may be getting in the way of your peace, your potential and your happiness - in short, keeping you stuck. It doesn't have to be that way. As a client-centred, trauma-informed relational psychotherapist, I believe good relationships - intimate, familiar, communal, and especially, the one you have with yourself - are essential to feeling good.

Are you feeling stressed or worrying about too much in your life, or perhaps frustrated in your personal or work relationships? Are you going through a life transition that leaves you feeling unsure and anxious - even stuck? Many people who are struggling with uncertainty have a hard time knowing what direction to go in.

Sometimes everyone around you seems to have answers, but all you feel is confused. Mostly, you want to regain your confidence in yourself.

How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
