Each of us experiences life’s highs and lows, which can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, or stress that affect both ourselves and our relationships. Talk therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these emotions. Through reflection and self-discovery, therapy helps individuals identify patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, fostering insight and growth. This process empowers people to reframe their challenges and rebuild their lives in positive, meaningful ways.

Life is an adventure. Sometimes there are high mountains to climb, rough waters swim, or dragons to tame, but you don’t have to face them alone. I’m here because I know what it’s like to feel like you’re drowning. My goal as a therapist is to provide a place where people can step out of the storm and breathe. Working with teens and adults, I use trauma-informed and a harm reduction framework, at a client led pace. This means I will not expect you to “dive right in” and share your deepest fears or darkest secrets minutes after meeting me. There’s no pressure here. Whatever your focus is, that is where we will start.

Over the past 30 years, I have worked with people struggling with a variety of distressing issues ranging from grief, substance abuse, family members impacted by substance abuse, struggles with mood disorders, men's issues and trauma. These issues are pages of our life story. Many times people feel isolated; the idea of sharing their story with a "stranger" feels too daunting, too personal. I find most clients, in the end, desire to feel more comfortable in their own skin. Identifying behavior patterns and ways we think and feel about ourselves is a huge first step toward making meaningful change.

Imagine having everything you need to be the "best" you, but not knowing how to fully access it. This word "resilience" has become such a popular term and it can be amazing to help us cope with life, if we know how it truly works and how to access it. I specialize in youth and adult anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma and much more. Although most of these issues can cause problems in daily life. These problems are manageable and I am willing to help you create the narrative of your best self.

Do you find yourself struggling with everyday life stressors? Do you feel lost and wish that you could be a better version of yourself? Do you feel ready to understand your past and how it impacts your life? If this speaks to you, I am glad you reached out. Taking the first step and asking for help can be the hardest part and I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. While working together, you can expect me to be warm, inviting, and positive while providing treatment that is thoughtful, goal-oriented, and based on highly effective techniques.

My practice focuses on individuals and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance abuse. I have worked with individuals and their loved ones to explore what it means to live fully authentically in a world where that is not always valued.

My greatest passion is helping people make lasting change their lives. My approach draws both on my professional and personal experiences with addiction, trauma, first responders, relationships and more. By creating a space and relationship where you feel safe, valued, and respected, we can then work together to overcome the challenges of today and build resiliency for the challenges yet to come. Therapy can be a truly transformative experience, when it is built on human connection and dedication to change. I look forward to walking with you on this journey!

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.
