Registered Provisional Psychologist
Hi, I am Erin, a therapist who works with individuals, couples, and polycules looking for a space to openly and authentically explore their concerns related to sex, identity, intimacy, relationships, anxiety, shame, gender, sexuality, and more.
In 2018, I pivoted from my decade long career as a graphic artist and pursued psychology, with insight into creatives, freelancers and other similar professionals. Additionally, I'm interested in how gender and sexuality impact our experiences. Because of this, I'm passionate about working with individuals on women's issues, men's issues, queer identities, gender identity and sex.
My practice is patient and affirming while using science-backed techniques to ensure we are meeting your goals quickly. This might look like exploring the connections between our thoughts and feelings, learning new coping skills, finding self-acceptance, or challenging the systems that impact our well-being.
Why I became a therapist?
I chose to work in sex therapy because I believe that feeling secure in our authentic selves is a big part of our mental health, and sex can often be a part of this journey. We are constantly bombarded with so many messages about sex, but how often do we stop to challenge these? Whether you are having difficulty in your sexual relationships, your sexuality, or questioning whether or not sex is even for you, we can all benefit from taking a step back, checking the messages we have learned throughout our lives, and deciding whether or not these are still serving us. Everyone’s journey is unique, and I want to be there to support that journey in a way that is safe, evidence-based, and supportive.
