About me
Whether you are a teenager, an adult, a family or a couple, life in general can become overwhelming and confusing. It can be helpful to work with someone on difficult and vulnerable issues you are experiencing. I support people with complicated life situations, substance use concerns, and those with family and romantic relationships that are experiencing hardship. I support people in healing, growing and developing the skills, motivation, and capacity to overcome their obstacles.
I offer an engaging, active, and creative therapy approach to your individual, family, or relationship goals. Exploring and processing your joys and challenges are as equally important as developing a plan to create the change you want to see in your life. I will help you, your family or your relationship every step of the way.
I strongly believe finding a great match is very important when looking for a therapist. Feel free to reach out. We can talk about what you are hoping to achieve and decide whether what I offer fits with what you believe is going to be helpful. I am happy to connect, answer any of questions or inquiry. I look forward to working with you soon.

Eric is a fantastic counsellor - extremely attentive with a seemingly intuitive grasp on the situation. He has helped me immensely, and I always leave our sessions feeling happier and more healthy than when we begin.

My time spent with Eric has given me a place of safety and space to just be me. I come into my sessions feeling like a big bowl of spaghetti and by the end, I am more grounded and some noodles are straightened out. He has been a great sounding board for my thoughts and provides a helpful reflection.

Eric has made me feel supported like I have never experienced in therapy and has made me actually look forward to therapy for the first time in my life.

Eric is great and super easy to talk too. He has a very calm energy and brings a positive spin to his advice and therapy. He always asks what approach you would like to take for every session and is very much go with the flow. Very enjoyable to talk to.

Eric was thoughtful and stuck with me through my long and sometimes tenuous analogies! He worked with me to find a structure for therapy that suited me, and provided useful insights to help me identify my values. He helped me to get to the root of my feelings and work through some tough emotions. Thank you, Eric!
