I believe psychotherapy can be transformative. Over and over again, I have been deeply impressed by people's capacity for personal growth and change. And, I have been moved by the courage and strength people have shown by their entering therapy in the first place, and by the trust they have placed in me and in the work we do together. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust, respect, and compassion that allows people to become more self-aware, to find healing, and to living a more fulfilling life.

Are you looking for an experienced therapist to help you feel better and live better? Are you hoping to improve communication with your partner or in your family relationships? I'd like to help you find a pathway to lasting change. I have more than 20 years of experience working with people across the lifespan, across genders and orientations, and facing varied stressors.

Perhaps you feel out of balance, are struggling with a transition, or are seeking to find a state of wellness in your life; or maybe your child is struggling emotionally and/or behaviorally, is going through a big life change, or you're wanting them to have space to explore and express themselves with a professional. However you or your family came to need support, I would be honored to help. My therapeutic philosophy is relationally and psychodynamically driven, trauma-informed and flexible; we will work together to tailor support that's right for you.

I love working with high performing and Motivated clients/couples with trauma who use therapy as an avenue for healing. I'm a holistic therapist that has a balance between being client centered and personally guiding the individual towards self. I enjoy helping clients explore relationship patterns that are no longer serving them. Working with children and adolescents, I include the entire family. I have experience with kids and teens. This work requires commitment and motivation to change current patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. I believe accountability is paramount to change I provide a safe space.

How do you feel right now? What do you need? What do you want? Change in our lives can only come from a better understanding of who we really are. Validation of past experiences, wounds and traumas. Through exploration, comes a willingness to work to change. Not who you are, but how you are; in relationships, at work, with your family and with yourself. Reducing anxiety, feeling less depressed, better able to deal with overwhelming emotions. Contentment.

The journey of therapy should be something you are drawn toward, not something you have to convince yourself to do. I want my clients to look forward to coming to their sessions, especially when what we're working through is tough. Therapy is a serious and powerful undertaking, but it doesn't have to be ominous. I think being down-to-earth and as lighthearted as possible about the institution of therapy helps to make it feel more accessible and fight any stigma attached to it. I look forward to working with you, you and your partner, or your family!

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

Have you reviewed multiple write ups on Psychology Today looking for the right therapist? Do you feel confused because there are so many individuals listed that are willing and ready to help? The right "fit" is so important to me and I hope that you might consider my holistic and uplifting approach to treatment. I am so honored and humbled to help people on their path to healing and I strive to keep therapy relevant and comfortable. Most clients tell me, "You are not like any therapist that I have ever met before!". I always take this as a compliment.

Some individuals and families need help handling scary situations. Psychological trauma is frequently misunderstood and can cause shame, guilt, and fear. I offer a space free of judgement in which to better understand behavior, trauma, family dynamics, attachment, pregnancy, birth, new parenthood, and sexuality. These issues effect family and relational functioning and can result in high-conflict family dynamics. If you have lost your sense of self or sense of family, I am here to help you chart a path back to yourself and each other.

You’ve been thinking about therapy for a while now. You feel overwhelmed by the daily grind. Unable to balance the demands of work and family. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a negative headspace. Over-thinking things. Distracted at work. Feeling less present at home. Headed down the old path towards self-destructive behaviors. You're not alone. You aren’t damaged, weak, or “broken.” You’re none of those things. You’re simply human.  And, these days, being human can be incredibly hard.

I welcome you to meet via video for a risk free initial consultation. This will provide an opportunity to see how I may help you with the issues you are seeking a therapist for. Call or email me directly to arrange a time.

Welcome! Therapy can be scary and bring up a multitude of thoughts and emotions. It is a step towards personal growth and healing as well as increased vulnerability. I have experience working in the areas of life transitions, depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, and family members/loved ones struggling with addiction. I have a passion working with individuals who are questioning or struggling with their relationships with substances, and LGBTQA and TGNC individuals. I am happy to provide the process for Gender Affirmation letters. Things can get better, please reach out!

Hi, I’m Erin! While life can be absolutely beautiful, it can also be difficult to feel contentment and notice the joy when you are overwhelmed with anxiety, doubt, and negative beliefs about yourself. It can feel comfortable to stay stuck in a pattern that is not serving you, but I’m betting that you’re becoming more uncomfortable with staying the same than you have in the past. While working together, you will learn how to navigate difficult thoughts that promote hard feelings. You will obtain skills to self regulate and accept things outside of your control, while becoming familiar with healthy boundaries that promote balance.

I work with individuals of all ages. I specialize in children, adolescents, and young adults. I have worked with issues such as depression, anxiety, school/college related issues, relationship issues, self-esteem/image, family conflict, self-harm, trauma, etc. I believe every person has their own unique world view. Counseling should be tailored to an individual’s specific needs. Rapport building, and collaboration with the client is essential as well as being culturally informed. I am empathic and nonjudgmental and offer a safe environment for all. Please note: I do not take insurance.

I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, and couples issues with empathy and expertise. Your first session will always be offered within 7 days, and guiding you to your "best self" is my priority. As owner of practice Whole Wellness Services, I have designed a treatment team of experts that are solution focused and utilize evidence based practices while retaining a holistic philosophy. Individuals that come to us for therapy are looking for help with getting to a more joyful place and alleviating symptoms or behaviors that may be holding them back from doing so.

As people, we often find ourselves feeling confined by the beliefs of friends, family, and society. It can be paralyzing trying to meet what are often conflicting expectations, leaving us with chronic feelings of anxiety, stress, and shame. It can feel as if you are compromising your true self to please other people, struggling to balance what you want for yourself and what others ask of you. Thinking about the person that you want to be can be stressful, but self-discovery is a crucial step towards leading a more fulfilled life.

My approach is gentle and direct. I know if you are coming to me, it’s possible you have been struggling with the same patterns and emotional pain for a long while and coping the best that you can. Together we can sort through what’s happening with your inner experiences, your relationships, and a world that can often feel anxiety-provoking. If you are holding painful memories or having traumatic symptoms, together we can ease your system into a more relaxed state so that you can experience life more fully present. From here, you can start down a path toward a more grounded sense of peace, joy, connection, and creativity.

Has it been awhile since you have felt like yourself? Are you struggling with a romantic relationship, your friends or family members, or with depressive or anxious feelings? My goal is to help clients talk through whatever they are struggling with and find a happier and healthier place in their lives. My approach to counseling is down to earth, compassionate, and honest. I am unique in my approach offering a specialized combination of life-coaching, motivation, and problem-solving in hopes of helping my clients work through the heaviness in their mind and find stability and happiness once again.

I have dedicated my career to understanding and treating emotional health. A specific area of interest is helping those to improve their interpersonal relationships, whether they be with family, coworkers, or others. I want our sessions to be a supportive and safe place where you can be your genuine self without fear of judgement as you process, learn, and work through life’s challenges.
