Holding deep gratitude after yesterday evening's art workshop at Paths of Courage šŸŒø

Thank you to each person who showed up with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to create. It takes courage to explore your inner world, especially in spaces that invite expression beyond words. It's a privilige to witness that!

I love making art with my clients! Whether you're a kiddo, teen, or adult, art making is always celebrated in my office, conveying what words can't always express. Here is a recent art activity we explored, celebrating the beginning of spring and nourishing intentions to ground and restore. Art is healing āœØļø

Walk & Talk Ecotherapy is back! šŸŒæ

Thereā€™s something about being in nature that gently shifts the way we process, feel, and connect! Stepping outside the therapy room can create space to slow down, tune into your body, and reconnect with your nervous system in a more grounded, natural way.

Walk & Talk sessions invite movement, fresh air, and the calming rhythm of the outdoors into our work together, supporting emotional regulation, reflection, and a different kind of presence that can feel both freeing and deeply restorative.

Over the next little while, Iā€™ll be sharing the different green spaces I offer sessions in.
Pictured here is Hanna Park in Trenton, ON, one of the beautiful spots available for Walk & Talk sessions.

If youā€™ve been curious about trying therapy in a different way, this could be a gentle place to start! Feel free to email me at erika@care-connect.ca to set up your session.

I was so happy to receive my IFS Institute Level 1 Training Manual yesterday! In two weeks I will begin my journey into becoming a Level 1 IFS practitioner, what an exciting feeling. Thank you for accepting me.

I've been exploring IFS since 2020 when I was receiving care from . This therapeutic modality is near and dear to me, and has challenged me to trust in my inner system and accompanying parts that make up who I am.

Last year, I was part of IFS Connect's Winter Triad which helped me realize that this was the modality that not only provided me support in my own healing, but would also become a part of my approach as a therapist. Thank you Nahid and to the rest of our triad for awakening this in me.

I welcome this new chapter in my life with open arms, and eager to continue celebrating the multiplicity of the mind.

Also, I'll be attending and hope to connect with y'all if you're attending!

Did you know that my space includes a small, ever-growing library youā€™re always welcome to explore? The selection has grown even bigger since this photo was taken! šŸ“–

This is something Iā€™ve offered for a while, a shelf of books you can borrow and take with you between sessions if it feels supportive.

Thereā€™s no pressure to read, no ā€œhomework,ā€ and no strict timelines. Just an open invitation to get curious, find language for your experiences, or connect with something that resonates.

Some people love bringing a piece of the work home with them in this way, and some donā€™t, both are completely okay!

Feel free to browse before or after your session anytime.

Therapy isnā€™t one-size-fits-all.

My approach is flexible, collaborative, and trauma-informed, meaning we shape the process together based on what feels most supportive for you. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and connection.

In our work together, we may draw from a range of modalities, including DBT skills, somatic mindfulness, parts work, and creative expression through art, to help you better understand your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and build tools for navigating lifeā€™s challenges.

Every personā€™s healing journey is unique, and therapy can be a space to slow down, get curious, and discover what supports you best.

āœØļø I'm still accepting clients in-person and virtually across Ontario! Reach out privately if you'd like to book a free 20-minute consultation with me āœØļø

Iā€™m away this weekend attending the Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte and District (SACQD) Board Retreat at Paths of Courage.

This time is dedicated to planning, reflection, and strengthening the work we do to support survivors in our community. Because of this, Iā€™ll have limited access to the internet and may be slower to respond to messages!

Take care, slow down, and be well ā™”

I am honoured to attend the Global Leadership Exchange 2026 in Canada as part of the Peer & Lived Experience Leadership match. This international event (June 1ā€“5, 2026) carries the theme ā€œIdeas to action: inspiring leaders to mobilize collective solutionsā€. It kicks off with immersive Matches across Canada on June 1ā€“2, followed by a Network Meeting in Ottawa on June 3ā€“5. I never imagined my journey as a survivor of familial and gender-based violence would open such doors, this opportunity is deeply humbling and inspiring.

Co-hosted by Habitus Collective and CAMHā€™s Empowerment Council (with support from Peer Support Canada), this Match will ā€œbring together international peer and lived experience leaders and their allies to co-create possible futures for lived-experience-peer leadership." I am grateful for the chance to stand alongside fellow leaders from around the globe and help shape a future where survivor voices directly contribute to community initiatives.

I can't wait to post more about this exciting opportunity closer to.
