ABOUT ERIN

My work centers around helping you find your own voice in your life. Yours, not someone else’s.

Many of the people I work with come in carrying expectations, pressure, and conflicting messages they’ve picked up over time - often from family, relationships, or religious or cultural environments. At some point, those things stop fitting, but it’s not always clear what’s supposed to take their place.

Therapy becomes a space to sort that out. A space to figure out who you are, not who you’ve been told to be. I want to see you feeling confident, grounded, and clear in yourself, rather than performing, masking, and constantly second-guessing who you’re supposed to be.

I’m not a formal, sit-back-and-nod kind of therapist. I’m laid back, direct, and engaged. I swear sometimes. We will laugh in session. I will call you out (gently, but honestly) if you’re doing something you’ve said you don’t want to keep doing. I’ll also help you figure out what actually does work for you, especially when it’s not as simple as “just try harder.”

Therapy with me is collaborative. We’re paying attention to what’s happening in your real life and finding ways to shift patterns in a way that’s actually sustainable.

I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are—without needing to filter, perform, or get it “right.” That includes the parts of you you’ve been hiding, questioning, or still trying to understand. You’re in there and you don’t need to become someone else to be okay.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, depression, trauma, and the lasting impact of high-pressure or isolating environments, including religious trauma. Much of our work involves building on the strengths you already have while developing new ways to respond to what you’re carrying.

Starting therapy is often the first step toward changing patterns that have been in place for a long time. It takes courage to begin that process, and I have a deep respect for the resilience it takes to do this work.

I’m also committed to continuing to grow as a therapist. I’m trained in DBT and am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist, with additional training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I stay up to date on current research and continue to seek out new approaches that may benefit my clients. If something comes up that could be helpful, I’ll look into it. And if it’s outside my scope, I’ll be honest about that and help you find someone who is the right fit.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start healing. You just have to have a willingness to try.
