Welcome! I am a trauma therapist that specializes in substance use, mental health and life issues. I work with clients all along the substance use spectrum to modify or stop problematic use, those that are in recovery and family members that have been impacted by a loved ones substance use. In addition, I help clients who have issues with depression, anxiety, PTSD, abusive relationships or other life issues. The modality I use for trauma therapy is somatic experiencing which works with stuck trauma patterns and with how traumatic experiences show up in the body. It can include using movement and touch.

I believe in an integrated, person-centered approach as I recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all and must be tailored to the specific needs of the individual. I encourage the development of trust, collaboration, and respect through a non-judgmental and down to earth approach, meeting you where you are at, to create a safe and inclusive environment. Trauma can create a profound impact on an individuals mind, body and relationships, but with the right support, I firmly believe that it is possible to grow and heal from trauma, no matter how long ago the trauma may have occurred.

The decision to access counselling is a personal one. Whether you've been to a counsellor before, or you are just starting to explore the options, thank you. Not just for reading this - but for taking the time to look into what is available and what may be right for you. People generally come to therapy for a reason, such as a specific event that they would like to discuss, or to work through uncomfortable emotions. Together, we can prioritize goals, explore and work through issues, develop new coping strategies, and create a plan to determine next steps.

Eric brings over 14 years of experience as a firefighter in Ottawa to his work as a therapist. As a dad to two girls and a community volunteer coach, he understands what it means to show up in crisis, hold space for hard conversations, and keep things real.
Eric's approach is curious, skilled, and direct. He trusts in people's ability to change while acknowledging that life can be chaotic and unpredictable. He knows we all have vulnerabilities that can overwhelm us, and that we all have resources and resilience, too. For Eric, the power of talk therapy happens when we summon the courage to be open and honest with ourselves.
