I strive to provide competent, compassionate and client-centered therapy services to assist and support individuals, couples, and families in processing past issues, managing daily stress, and working to make positive choices in the future. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression and behavioral challenges. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I value working with the entire family. I incorporate parents and caregivers into my work with children to ensure that the entire family system feels supported and can work towards improved family dynamics and relationships.

Do you have thoughts or feelings that make it difficult for you to experience joy? Have you had an experience or struggle that you can’t seem to move past? Maybe you find yourself relying on drugs or alcohol just to “feel normal” or make it through the day? Are you in a relationship that is holding you back from accomplishing your goals or being your authentic self? These are just a few examples of situations that I can help you navigate.

Humor, warmth, authenticity, and a commitment to social justice are the foundations of my practice. I am committed to creating an affirming space for clients from all backgrounds, abilities, and identities. I will work with you to identify how therapy can best support your goals and desires, whether you are struggling to find your footing in the chaos or stress of this time, looking for support with building skills to navigate challenges around work, school, parenting or other significant relationships, or seeking to experience more ease, joy, and purpose in your connection to yourself and those around you.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families on a range of things, from family and relationship issues to life transitions, depression and anxiety, grief, larger existential questions, and other things. A particular focus is helping people in crisis manage and make meaning from difficulties. My approach to therapy is supportive, relational, and client-centered, with a focus on how things manifest themselves in the here and now. More than anything, I try to create a safe space for tuning in to feelings, finding balance, healing, and working on change.

Have you ever made a choice and immediately asked yourself: "Why in the world did I do that?" Imagine if you had talked with someone you trusted before you made that choice. What a difference some compassion and understanding can make. Lighten your burden with someone to walk with you through your difficult life choices. Whether you're wrestling with a work-related challenge or a situation in your intimate relationship, I can offer you a safe space, a ready ear, and help with the choices you're trying to make. Feel heard, understood, and confident in your decisions. That's what therapy offers.

Sometimes life is hard and you need help coping. Sometimes you get angry and you're not sure why or how to control it. Sometimes bad things happen and you can't get over it the way your friends and family expect you to. Maybe you don't really know what's going on, but you recognize that something isn't right. I want to help you figure out what isn't working in your life and get you to where you want to be.

Now offering Saturday and Friday appointments. You find yourself feeling stressed, drained, and anxious. Sleep has been evading you but you are tired all the time. You feel unsure about trusting yourself to make decisions, even small choices make you nervous. You are frustrated with your current outlook in life, unsure of where to go next. You feel like you don't have what it takes, you barely have the energy to get through the day.

I consider it a profound honor to witness human beings' capacity to become more authentic, liberated versions of themselves. My experience is that healing and transformation take place only in relationship, and that the therapist-client relationship provides a unique opportunity for connection, reflection, and change. I help individuals and couples co-create a space where they can process the heavy burdens that seem to be getting in the way- grief or loss, low self-esteem, ambivalence about what is next, or pain from broken relationships.

It can be hard to know which therapist will meet your needs. If you are anxious, stressed, struggling with relationships, or just feel like something is 'off', I might be the right fit for you. People often work with me on issues within their relationships, feeling comfortable with their emotions, and overcoming obstacles to success. People might have trouble with body image, maintaining meaningful friendships, managing conflict, setting boundaries, coping with fear, and reconnecting with themselves after traumatic experiences. If this resonates with you, I'm glad you found my page.

On the surface; you seem fine, but inside, you have a self-critical voice that won’t let up. You have a lot of feelings that you feel deeply. This can be a strength but it can also leave you feeling confused about why others don't see what you see. Others may have told you that you are too sensitive but you also may be the person that they come to for advice or support. Maybe you have been hesitant to try counseling because you feel that you should be able to figure this out yourself.

Hi, I'm Erin - a therapist and coach for adults with ADHD. Whether you're struggling to keep up at work, having communication issues in your relationship, and/or trying your damnedest to raise good humans - the pressure to be your best self is relentless and it's all too easy to feel like a failure. I have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples during periods of transition such as pregnancy, postpartum, peri/menopause, newly partnered or separated, and empty nesting. I'm certified in Perinatal Mental Health and a trained Fair Play facilitator (sharing the "mental load" is a hot topic in my work!).

*Please email me for info.* Dr. Giordano's sister Maryann died in 1986 after a 3.5-year struggle with cancer. After Dr. Giordano's last cancer treatment, he began his undergraduate in psychology. Dr. Giordano is the grateful father of two adults. These and many other experiences help Dr. Giordano understand first hand the impact of living with and losing a terminally ill sibling, the effects of losing a child on parents, being diagnosed and treated for cancer, and the challenges related to marriage, divorce, remarriage, raising children, blended families, caring for aging parents, and LGBTQ issues including transgender transition.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking lasting healing or therapeutic change. You may be experiencing depression or anxiety that is signaling the need for a different way of approaching your life. You may have past trauma and need a safe space to work through and integrate this. Old patterns, wounding and trauma live in our bodies and show up in our relationships, feelings, thoughts, beliefs and body sensations. We will work together to heal and integrate these through a therapeutic approach that is relational, embodied, spirit-oriented, anti-oppressive, and attentive to the culture and larger systems we live in.

The counseling process is a partnership. I believe some of life's most difficult moments can be processed and healed through the therapeutic relationship. Whether you are in a hard life transition, dealing with chronic anxiety, or working on a challenging relationship, counseling can be the vehicle to help get you to the other side. I seek to build a compassionate, safe relationship with you so that we can work together to explore what’s happening in your life. Our team strives to support you in the way that you need, while providing comprehensive services based on evidence based modalities.

For many, trauma can create barriers in relationships, emotional regulation, and even self-worth. I help clients identify and shift long-standing patterns that have been shaped by past wounds. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding how trauma shapes not only individual experiences but also patterns across generations. I also work with clients who navigate neurodiversity, as trauma can often intersect with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences. This unique combination requires a nuanced, understanding approach to healing that honors both trauma and the strengths of neurodivergent individuals.
