About me

Over the past 11 years, my work with adults, children, and families has been a true privilege. I have had the honor of listening to people's stories, I've watched people's hidden strengths come to light, and I've walked with my clients as they learn what works for them. Together we find the clarity and the internal resources needed to meet their challenges.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

It is important for me to understand your current world and how the relationships in your life factor in. There are common assessments to fill out prior to the first session, and together we will review symptoms. There may be additional assessments as our work together becomes more clear. You can always ask questions to understand more about my style and focus, and the treatment plan will be guided by your current needs and your identified areas of change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

There are many coping skills I can teach you, and many insights I can facilitate, but the story you tell about yourself and the world makes the greatest impact on the life you live. Being connected to yourself and others is the root of the work. That is why I incorporate mindfulness-based interventions, journaling, and body-based coping skills into most sessions. And if desired, spiritual reflection from various traditions and cultures. The whole person is in front of me, and the whole person can grow through this process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

The clients that I have seen the most success with have some things in common. They may have lost a sense of self or self-directed energy. Some have never had a grasp on this and have always sensed it's absence, but couldn't quite name it. Either way, it is something they have longed for, or find that they long for. Clients who stay curious with this experience authentically go from a being in a state of confusion to being co-creator with me in the therapy space. I find that one of my greatest strengths is to help others uncover the shine within. Let's take a glimpse at what is possible together.

My treatment methods

Adlerian

Adlerian style of therapy, rooted in Individual Psychology, aims at tackling barriers to success given an individual's social context. In this view, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stressors all boil down to how we connect to ourselves and others. We all have unique qualities, and as these are uncovered and strengthened, we can find out how to walk intentionally in our world for the best outcome for ourselves and our relationships.

Trauma Informed Care

A baseline of safety and stabilization is needed before any other positive experience can happen. Some people need support in returning to this baseline. Some have never known a true sense of safety. I am here to help you discover the underlying conditions that create this sense of safety and stabilization, in order to address your needs that have gone unmet.

EMDR

I utilize EMDR to target specific traumatic memories that may impact daily functioning and nervous system engagement. Strengthening a sense of internal safety and your window of tolerance for distress always comes first.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

At it's core, DBT incorporates mindfulness, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness skills to improve daily functioning and relational satisfaction. I teach and utilize DBT skills in session, and may assign similar homework outside of session.

Integrative

Not every problem that is brought to therapy can be solved by one standard approach. I integrate my practice with the underlying assumption that all humans have basic needs- physical, relational, psychological, and spiritual. Many theories and models of treatment incorporate this same idea, and in practice, some methods are more effective for one individual, and other methods are more effective for another.

Erin ‘s authentic skill set and compassionate approach make a profound difference. She has a remarkable ability to create a safe space where difficult topics feel easier to navigate. Beyond her natural empathy, she provides practical coping skills and invaluable insights that have helped me see my situation with newfound clarity. I left our session with an empowering plan and a clear sense of how to move forward. I am grateful for the connection and look forward to our next session.
