Empowering young adults through goal-oriented therapy in Vancouver and across BC.
It’s possible to create the future you really want.
Support for young adults navigating anxiety and depression, creating meaningful relationships, and exploring career paths.
Put simply: you feel stuck.
You’re juggling the demands of school, work, and personal relationships, all while trying to figure out who you are and where you’re headed. Maybe you’re pushing through another day of classes or work, but underneath it all, there’s a nagging sense of uncertainty. The future looms large, filled with questions you’re not sure how to answer, along with an ever-present feeling that you’re somehow “behind” where you “should be.”
You may have pursued therapy before this to find direction, but didn’t feel like you saw the change you were looking for or gained the skills to find your own path forward. It’s overwhelming trying to balance it all and you often find yourself close to burnout.
Living away from home, perhaps far from your main support system, can make these challenges feel even more daunting. You might be dealing with the weight of cultural expectations, feeling the tension between your own desires and what your family or community expects of you.
You’re ready to explore what it means to live a fulfilling life.
You’re here because you want to understand yourself better, gain clarity, and find the confidence to make decisions that align with who you truly are.
Hello, I'm Erica
It’s okay not to have it all figured out right now.
You don’t have to apologize for feeling the way you do. As a young adult, you’re thrown into a world of constant decision-making—the kind that feels like your future hinges on making the right one. (No wonder you’re overwhelmed!) I’m here to encourage you to give yourself grace and understanding through all of this by breaking the large, looming future into smaller, more realistic steps. We’ll do this together—one step at a time—so you can move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and direction.
Whatever you’re going through—whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, reckoning with your cultural identity, or career-related issues—my extensive background in counselling and career development equips me to support you.
I can help you address the interconnectedness of your mental health and career aspirations, by utilizing tailored strategies and therapeutic techniques. My holistic approach and career counselling expertise help you gain self-awareness, build coping skills, and make informed career choices aligned with your values and strengths, all while prioritizing your overall well-being.
I offer a space that is both compassionate and supportive, using evidence-based practices to help you navigate life’s important decisions and challenges. I know getting here wasn’t easy, and what you're facing won’t just disappear, but I can help you move forward. This weight you’ve been carrying is heavy, but I’m here to help lighten the load.
My Areas of Expertise
Career Counselling
Navigating your career path can be overwhelming. Whether you're seeking a new direction or facing challenges in your current role, I provide guidance and support to help you feel confident and empowered in finding a sense of purpose in your professional life.
Anxiety & Depression
Struggling with anxiety or depression is often isolating and exhausting. Together, we will explore strategies to manage these feelings, helping you reclaim your well-being and build resilience for a more balanced life.
Relationships
Healthy relationships are part of a fulfilling life, but they’re also often complex and challenging. I work with individuals to improve communication, foster connection, and resolve conflicts, ensuring your relationships can thrive.
Cultural Counselling
Balancing personal values with cultural expectations can be challenging, especially in a multicultural society. Pressures from family, community, or work may leave you feeling disconnected. I help you navigate these challenges, honouring your heritage while embracing your own path.
How it Works
Begin the journey toward meaningful change.
Take the first step by reaching out for a free consultation where we can get to know each other, talk about what’s brought you here, and what you’re hoping to achieve from this experience. From there, we’ll create a plan that’s tailored to your unique needs and challenges. Then we’ll begin the work together, empowering you to become your best self and build the life that has, until now, seemed out of reach.
It’s possible to discover a sense of direction and purpose in your life, and it would be my privilege to serve as a guide to help you find it. I am based in Vancouver and offer convenient sessions online across BC.
