About Erin
Before becoming a counsellor, Erin earned a Bachelor of Physical Education and Recreation, specializing in Health and Fitness Promotion. She then built a career as an Executive Assistant to CEOs across the sport, health, and wellness industries. As a lifelong competitive athlete, Erin has a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection, which led her to study mindfulness and become a meditation teacher. These experiences, combined with her passion for health and well-being, have shaped her appreciation for the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and mental health.
Taking the leap to pursue her Master’s opened the door to her dream career as a therapist centred on supporting others in deep and meaningful ways. As a Clinical Counsellor at Parkway Physiotherapy + Performance Centre, Erin values a holistic approach to well-being that honours the whole person by recognizing the intersectionality of the biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that shape our experiences and identities.
Her therapeutic approach is grounded in warmth, authenticity, empathy, humility, curiosity, and inclusivity.
At the heart of Erin’s work is a belief in every person’s inherent worthiness and innate capacity for resilience and growth. She integrates neuroscience-informed mind-body approaches with evidence-based tools, skills, and strategies to help clients work toward their therapeutic goals.

Care Philosophy
One of my favourite sayings is, “Never worry alone.” At the heart of my care philosophy is the belief that we can all benefit from support as we navigate life’s challenges. My priority is to create a compassionate, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic space where you feel safe exploring your experiences, worries, and anything that feels overwhelming. I believe that when met with understanding, compassion, dignity, and the right support, we can reconnect with our strengths and values, discover new possibilities, and move toward meaningful change.
Outside the Clinic
