I have been a psychotherapist since 1990 and work with adults, couples, and families. Empathy, warmth, humor, and compassion are personal qualities I bring to our work, in addition to knowledge of theories and strategies. My experience and maturity help my clients deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships, assist them to make changes, and accept what cannot be changed. I also keep in mind the impact of early family patterns on current struggles and create space for insight and self-reflection. Lifelong learning does not stop, and I bring this commitment to my practice.

Asking for help is one of the scariest and bravest things you can do. Thank you for choosing me to provide you that help. I have 8 years of experience working with a variety of populations including, children, adolescents and adults. At times, it can be difficult to enjoy even the littlest of things in life due to the negative emotions (fear, hopelessness, anxiety, etc.) that we experience. With me, you will be provided with a safe, understanding and non-judgmental environment. Our time together will be used to process whatever stressors you are struggling with. I will be there with you every step of the way as you process and heal

Do you feel like it takes everything you've got just to get through the day? Are you so caught up in anxiety, people pleasing, or compulsive behavior that you feel like you've lost yourself? I get it. Being human is hard. But you are so much more than your symptoms and struggles. Incredibly, the things that challenge us the most can be doorways to real and lasting change. Happiness and healing are possible, and it begins with connection and support.

Take a full, deep breath...by reading this, you have already taken a step in seeking support. It only takes that first courageous step away from the pain, confusion or fear toward the path of freedom and the life you desire. When you are ready for that step, I am here to support you on a healing journey. Therapy will uncover any self-destructive beliefs or habits (addictions/ patterns) that prevent a fuller expression of who you know you can be. Our work and my hope for you would be to experience feeling more fully alive with a sense of joy, purpose and freedom.

I would like to first start with saying Congratulations to making the first step in prioritizing your mental health! It is a courageous decision to work on ourselves! Therapy can be the beginning of a life changing endeavor for many and it all begins with you. HI! My name is Erin and I, too, have made that same decision in my life to seek better understanding of myself as well as working through challenges that have gotten me “stuck” at times in my life. I share this because I feel it important for my patients to know that my own personal journey allows me to be empathetic and compassionate to patient’s needs and struggles.

I recognize the process of healing is an investment that takes vulnerability, courage, time, and energy, which may be difficult and intimidating. I imagine you have been doing your best to navigate life and painful emotional experiences that have shaped who you are. As we experience conflict, grief, pain, and emotion in general, we respond in our own unique way that may no longer be helpful. The process of psychotherapy is designed to give you an opportunity to examine the way you relate to yourself and the world around you, thereby allowing you to cultivate awareness, change, and growth in your life.
