As an active young athlete, he played hockey, volleyball, badminton, and competed in track, plus he worked in roles as diverse as officiating hockey, 4-H and volunteering with the local fire department. To maintain his high level of activity Dr. Weeks relied on the benefits of regular chiropractic care.
Through his community involvement and sports groups Dr. Weeks discovered that he also had a passion for the health and wellbeing of others. With the goal to turn this passion into a career, he decided to pursue a career in chiropractic so that he could give back to the profession that helped him so much on a personal level.

Erika Wilcox
Registered Provisional Psychologist
Erika Wilcox holds a Master’s degree from Yorkville University. She is a Registered Provisional Psychologist. Erika has over five years of experience in clinical counselling. She uses a variety of treatment modalities that are chosen based on the client’s needs including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Person Centered Therapy. Her work in a hospital out-patient clinic gave her experience in working with those suffering from anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, personality disorders and psychosis.
It is often difficult to seek help for one’s internal struggles, and that is why it is so important for Erika to create a comfortable, safe, and non-judgmental environment where people can share their story. She believes that each and every client is unique, and therefore, every client requires a plan that is tailored to them.
Erika also values the importance of early life experience shaping our view of the world and our place in it. She has experience working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, relationship issues and grief. Her approach is based on the biopsychosocial model that encompasses multiple factors in human development. She also works with children and youth ages 8 and up that are experiencing anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues in an age appropriate way.
She always seeks to give her clients understanding and compassion so they can freely explore who they are in a meaningful way, further encouraging their growth as human beings. I am currently accepting children (ages 8+) and adults.
