About Erica
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified Canadian Counsellor, and Certified Career Strategist. I am the founder of Connect, an online therapy and career counselling practice in British Columbia supporting young adults with addressing their mental health, lifestyle, and career concerns.
In addition to private practice, I am a counsellor educator and graduate school admissions officer. Previously, I have worked as a school counsellor, post-secondary advisor, and counsellor in community mental health. My experience working in academic settings with students in various stages of their personal and career development has given me a comprehensive understanding of the needs and challenges that young adults face. I am passionate about supporting young adults in their process of healing and growth, and helping them develop the skills they need to navigate a complex life stage characterized by uncertainty and significant change.
As a second-generation Chinese Canadian, I understand the issues that Asian individuals face with regards to family relationships, cultural expectations, academic and career pressures, intergenerational trauma, and mental health stigma. I value providing clients from diverse backgrounds with a therapeutic approach that is culturally responsive and inclusive, and a space where they can feel truly seen and heard.
Outside of being a therapist and educator, I am a wife, daughter, sister, and dog mom to Bear and Brea. I spend my free time going on outdoor adventures, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, and spending quality time connecting with my family and friends. I love world travel but am always grateful to return home to the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
