I have worked with children, adults, families and couples.
Every client and therapist pairing is different. Not every pairing will fit as well as others and the goal of every therapeutic relationship is for the therapist to act as a competent and supportive guide in navigating each client's map of unique challenges in life. I believe that the most important aspect of the relationship is the ability to be honest about the process--what works will differ for everyone. I aim to tailor treatment to each client so that he or she leaves the office feeling heard, understood and confident about the therapeutic journey.

Hello, I'm Erin, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I understand the stress and anxiety parenting can cause, especially when balancing life's demands becomes overwhelming. If your child's behaviors feel out of control or they have received a recent diagnosis, I can help. For the past 12 years, I have empowered hundreds of families struggling with parenting challenges - from daily pressures to major diagnoses like Autism. I recognize the immense grief, anxiety, depression, and isolation a diagnosis or a child with behavioral challenges can bring and how it affects the whole family.

Despite your best intentions and efforts, do you feel stuck in your personal life, intimate relationships, family relationships or workplace? You may be faced with challenges that are deeply rooted in your early life experiences, your primary attachments, in how you view the world, or due to misunderstanding between you and significant others. Challenges can arise during stressful life transitions, such as divorce or death of loved ones. But they can also arise from positive life experiences, such as marriage or the birth of a child. Left untreated, these challenges can grow into chronic problems that can corrode your sense of self and your relationships.
