Hi, I’m Erin! While life can be absolutely beautiful, it can also be difficult to feel contentment and notice the joy when you are overwhelmed with anxiety, doubt, and negative beliefs about yourself. It can feel comfortable to stay stuck in a pattern that is not serving you, but I’m betting that you’re becoming more uncomfortable with staying the same than you have in the past. While working together, you will learn how to navigate difficult thoughts that promote hard feelings. You will obtain skills to self regulate and accept things outside of your control, while becoming familiar with healthy boundaries that promote balance.

People seek counseling or therapy because of distress, conflict and perhaps anxiety or malaise. Many are facing a life stressor. Each person is unique in who they are, how they experience the world and how they deal with stress. My strength is working with the individual where they discover the tools to have more control of their lives and get what they want.
