Here at Whole Connection, we believe that a healing relationship is the most important part of therapy. This connection allows each client to safely explore and create the changes and healing they are striving for. Our therapists support clients working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, identity exploration, and a variety of other challenges that can arise in everyday life. We often work individually, with couples, or in a group setting to help our clients build the skills they need to work through and remain resilient in difficult times.

You really want to enjoy life but everything seems daunting. You feel stuck, overwhelmed and confused. Life can be challenging but you don't have to go through this alone. My first aim in therapy is to create a space where you feel safe and heard. Together we embark on a journey of greater insight to understand what is holding you back and to create possibilities for change. I see therapy as a collaborative process: I bring my skills and experience, and you bring your whole self, your strengths and vulnerabilities, your fears and desires. My goal is to help you live a full and meaningful life in a way that feels true to YOU.

Only the strongest and most courageous know when it is time to get help. Together we can work through nearly any difficulty. I personalize my counseling and coaching practices based on your or your family's needs, using effective, yet gentle and powerful, proven methods. With 25+ years in practice working with people who have depression, anxiety, OCD, childhood/teen behavioral concerns, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorders, and adjustments to significant life changes, I have the experience to meet your needs . Not sure if counseling or coaching is right for you? Please call me for a free consultation. Warmest regards, Erin

Specializing in Teens & Young Adults: However isolated they appear, I hold a strong belief that young adult emotional and behavioral struggles are primarily a reaction to family influences. To fully support this population in reaching their potential, their challenges will need to be looked upon in the context of family, so to identify how such strife continues to be reinforced. This systemic approach to therapy paves the way for greatest insight to be gained by those who really matter, allowing for symptom reduction and ultimately greater relational harmony.

We empower you to navigate the complexities of transitioning into assisted living, cope with terminal diagnoses, find balance in caregiving, process grief & loss, and embrace the aging or dying process with grace and dignity.

Are you looking to make a life change with the support of alternative holistic methods along with time tested traditional tools? If so, I can help you.

I work with people both in a traditional office-based format, as well as in an intensive model to accelerate your process. I also offer individual and group-based personally meaningful, culturally relevant Rite of Passage experiences to support you in conscious and intentional movement through life challenges.

Is your child struggling to control their emotions or reactions? Has their behavior changed and you’re not sure why? Maybe their grades have dropped; all of the sudden you’re getting calls from the school; they may have withdrawn into themselves, or begin lashing out at others. While children and teens are incredibly resilient, even under the best of circumstances, they may need support from someone outside of the family in order to recover from a major change, or unlock their full potential & thrive. That is where therapy comes in, and I would love to be the one to help.

I believe that every person has the capacity to be happy. When I work with individuals and couples, I get to know each unique person and circumstance. My treatment approach considers the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of each person. The non-judgmental relationship of trust and acceptance creates an environment that is conducive to the self-discovery that is necessary for achieving and maintaining optimal mental health and happiness. Helping others is my life's purpose, and I am honored to join people on their quest for a happy life.

Practice is full, reach out for waitlist. I help people who feel stunted by the lingering impact of trauma and early childhood relational wounding. I offer a welcoming space where safety and trust are imperative, inviting my clients to be truly heard and seen in a non-judgmental environment. By aligning with your innate wisdom, I offer space for clients to feel heard, empowered and supported to work through trauma and relational wounds. Together we set out on a journey to find greater flexibility and ease in life and to feel freedom and confidence to have a life worth living. Psychedelic/Peak experience integration also offered.

There is nothing I enjoy more than helping people improve their lives and relationships; feel less stressed and more content. I take a down-to-earth approach that focuses on your particular needs, desires and goals. Then we come up with a plan for how to enable you to meet your goals. This involves finding out what is blocking you from having the kind of life you want, and taking the steps to overcome those obstacles. Once you understand the source of your difficulties, and have an ally to help you make the necessary changes, anything is possible.

I work with people navigating major life changes, grappling with grief & loss, or longing to understand their unique emotions and sensations. My approach is grounded in creativity and curiosity. I can help you develop healthier communication skills that may strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Becoming aware of our internal experiences allows us to express our needs with greater clarity. I will listen to you and learn about your intentions so that we can get to the heart of the matter together. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I enjoy working with people who are committed to their growth and development.

Life can be full of challenges that can make you anxious and depressed. No matter what kind of distress you are experiencing, seeking support can help you get back on your feet and thrive in ways you never thought possible. I help my clients gain insight into their emotional lives and relationships. Together, we can work on your goals at your pace so that you can feel confident in yourself and your coping abilities in time. I look forward to working with you; book a free consultation to see if we could be a good fit for each other!

Let’s be real. These are dark times, and uncertainty abounds. Old wounds may be coming to the surface, and the thought of facing them may feel downright terrifying……It IS terrifying. I believe that these moments are opportunities for us to learn, accept, and grow in our capacity to be Compassionate with ourselves, and with one another. This is how Transformational Healing occurs. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationships with substances, or existential dread (perhaps all the above), YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. We aim to cultivate hope in all our clients. We work with adolescents and adults to overcome complex and difficult to treat problems, including substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship issues, and overwhelming emotions. We often deal with more than one problem at a time. Our passion is helping people who struggle with multiple problems build a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Have you ever been labeled as ‘too sensitive,’ ‘too emotional,’ or ‘too needy’ by someone in your life? Do you feel like you have to hide parts of yourself to receive love and acceptance? Do you feel drained from the everyday experience of living with your identity? If any of this sounds familiar, welcome. You are in the right place. However you are arriving here, know that the essence of your wholeness lies within you, waiting to be discovered.

Today's professionals are often challenged by the myth of perfectionism, 24/7 work schedules, and having a side hustle. All to frequent, people are wiped out by balancing a fulltime job, family commitments, and escalating economic demands. In the midst of this doing, many have stretched themselves emotionally, psychologically, and physically without adequately supporting their own need for restoration. In fact, without mental wellbeing, healthy coping mechanisms, rest, and healing practices; our minds and bodies experience exhaustion. This type of mental and physical fatigue can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and burnout.

I believe that the power of therapy lies in the process – in uncovering histories, identifying patterns, and finding new perspectives. I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by increasing insight into those struggles and learning to embrace emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them. My hope as your therapist is that you'll leave with a strong sense of self and healing, with direction on how to be the person you want to be moving forward.
