OUT BEYOND THE IDEA OF WRONG DOING AND RIGHT DOING IS A FIELD; I'LL MEET YOU THERE." -RUMI- A fulfilling journey in the counseling and psychotherapy process begins with a safe, caring relationship between my client and myself. So my first task is creating a secure environment that encourages and develops hope, respect, introspection, honesty, and self-responsibility in the therapy room.

Hey there. I'm Erin. Are you looking for a trustworthy presence to walk alongside you on the path towards change, healing, and purpose? I work with adults and kids whose challenges may relate to anxiety, depression, parenting, identity, trauma, spiritual wounding, and substance use. Are you wanting to develop your coping skills or your ability to experience your emotions? Are you curious about some of your behaviors or choices? Are you hoping to explore where you've been and determine where you're heading in your story? You’re the author. Let’s discover what’s next.

Are you facing life's complexities and challenges? I'm here to help. As a therapist, I support clients in addressing a range of issues—whether they are current or rooted in the past. I firmly believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is foundational to improving the quality of our lives. That is why I work with clients in helping them explore aspects of themselves that may be interfering with their growth and development. Oftentimes this can manifest in the form of unhelpful behaviors, unhealthy ways of coping, or clinical disorders. Whatever it may look like, we can work through it together.

My clients are sophisticated, insightful, and curious about themselves and others. Yet they may have found themselves feeling chronically depressed, anxious, or lost in life, and they might struggle with long-term patterns in their lives and relationships that they just can’t seem to change. Perhaps they have struggled with trauma or other experiences, thoughts, and feelings they fear nobody would understand. I enjoy working with people who desire not just new insights into their mind, but also a new way of experiencing themselves and others.

Searching for a therapist is a vulnerable decision. Often, we don’t know what causes feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, & disconnection from our lives & our loved ones. My therapeutic style is grounded in process-based Gestalt therapy, with a focus on creating an emotionally safe environment to decrease internal shame & explore life concerns/struggles. My specialties include trauma, PTSD, & abuse (i.e., emotional, parental, religious, narcissistic, toxic relationships/marriages, high-control environments & betrayal). I work with attachment injuries, perfectionism, codependency, self-esteem, identity exploration & boundary setting.

Your story deeply matters to me. I provide relational, integrative, and sex-positive therapy to queer and BIPOC clients. My clients are looking to make their minds and bodies a safe home and are often the first in their families to have the courage to disrupt limiting beliefs and cycles. They seek to challenge expectations as they dare to redefine themselves wholeheartedly. Together, we will make space to explore the impact of generational and personal traumas, navigate the complexities and beauty of intersecting identities, and create meaningful, lasting, and accessible healing practices. Let's connect!

You feel alone, angry, and ashamed. Although you experience profound isolation and dissatisfaction with your life, you tell yourself this is just the way life is supposed to be. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I work with men who are feeling lonely, unhappy, or hopeless. Our work together addresses these issues so that you can be alive and free. Together, we can create a space without judgment or shame where healing can occur. In this space I’ll help you to become the next version of yourself.

Humorist, Mark Twain once wrote, "I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." Left unchecked, fear-based thinking shapes reality and impedes potential and growth. The unknown and mixed messages surrounding the pandemic has reinforced this mindset and may have left you with perpetual feelings of sadness, uncertainty and doubt. The first step of our journey together is establishing a relationship built upon trust, respect, and safety. Through shared conversation, mindfulness, and self-regulating techniques, we create a bond that honors your unique story and circumstance.

I help women and queer folks who are ready to heal the pain of past experiences and come home to themselves.

It's important to honor the grief and feelings of isolation that can come with reconsidering beliefs that were once so important to you.

~ ALL THINGS RELATIONAL ~ My work revolves around the interactions between & relationships among people.

I’m passionate about helping women transform their lives. Supporting them on their path to growth and healing. Being a woman in today’s modern world is hard. There’s pressure to have a healthy relationship, successful career, to be a good parent, and to be physically and emotionally healthy. High expectations of us take a toll on our minds and our bodies. Many women I work with talk about losing themselves and feeling frustratingly stuck. You want to feel grounded and confident. You need time to look inward and heal. You’re ready to develop a pathway forward, one where you feel hopeful and in control. You're in the right place.

It's the end of a long day and instead of feeling satisfied, happy and ready to relax, you feel a sense of anxiety and possibly even dread just thinking about the next day. It's been happening so much, you almost expect it. Wishing things to be different hasn't gotten you anywhere. You know you're capable of peace and happiness, but lately, you're even wondering if that's even true. Whatever is holding you back- ADHD, a strained relationship, a worthiness wound, self-doubt, lack of confidence, or a thorny conflict at work- you're ready NOW for the support and guidance to fix it once and for all.

I love working with individuals of all ages who are open-minded, willing and interested in cultivating a meaningful life. I recognize how challenging it can be to remain willing and curious when the world and life as we've known it continues to rapidly change. One of my primary goals is to support clients to feel more moments of contentment and safety so that they are able to imagine the possibilities in front of and ahead of them. It IS possible to feel better and suffer less; and for life to look and feel different than it does right now.

I specialize in assisting individuals struggling with unhealthy patterns, offering a safe space to process emotional pain. Our past often influences our present and future, but I empower you to rewrite this narrative, fostering personal growth with new skills. Your comfort and safety in sharing your story are paramount as we identify and understand how past experiences shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll develop healthier coping mechanisms and effective processing strategies.
