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.

Finding the perfect therapist, much like finding the perfect pair of jeans, can be both an exciting and daunting task. Finding the right fit is crucial to building a strong and successful working relationship. As a licensed mental health counselor, it is my goal to help establish a warm and empathic environment that fits you and/or your partner/family to explore your concerns and work to accomplish your goals. I work with a variety of clients tackling relational issues or seeking deep understanding of themselves. I specialize in LGBTQ+ informed treatment, couples counseling & sexual and intimacy-based concerns.

Feeling stuck? Stressed? Generally unhappy? Are you struggling with your emotions and ignoring them until they overflow? This can impact your relationships, your work, and your ability to just enjoy life. Overwhelm and discontent don’t have to define this time in your life. It's ok to take space and time for yourself; to heal, to not accept what is or go back to what was, to instead move through into a better future for yourself and your family. Whether you want to address stress, depression, anxiety, life changes, trauma, burnout, messy relationships, anger, grief, or something else…you don't need to keep doing it alone.

Therapy is an opportunity to share with an unbiased person the sorting through of life-issues that a person is experiencing. Together, the therapist and the client create manageable and realistic solutions, whether in an individual, couple or family setting, honoring confidentiality and building trust.

As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients become mindful of who they are & uncover their true potential to foster a life that is worth embracing. When we work together we can't change difficult situations of the past, but we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life to prevent reoccurring patterns of negative family dynamic, stress-related struggles, self-esteem, addictions, trauma, & fears that may be holding you back from experiencing a meaningful life. If you're looking for support or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you.

Therapy offers a space to verbalize your experiences, sort through them, and connect them to feelings. This begins the process of change and self awareness. My priority is to provide a space where you can do this without judgment and feel safe, heard, and understood. I am also the kind of therapist who offers helpful insight and doesn't just sit back and listen, who can help you to see the role you play in your own life and help you grow.

I would like to first start with saying Congratulations to making the first step in prioritizing your mental health! It is a courageous decision to work on ourselves! Therapy can be the beginning of a life changing endeavor for many and it all begins with you. HI! My name is Erin and I, too, have made that same decision in my life to seek better understanding of myself as well as working through challenges that have gotten me “stuck” at times in my life. I share this because I feel it important for my patients to know that my own personal journey allows me to be empathetic and compassionate to patient’s needs and struggles.

In our fast-paced world, it is easy to become anxious, depressed, angry, and/or overwhelmed. If it feels unmanageable at times, that makes sense. Our brains weren’t designed to be flooded with so much information globally and in our personal lives with minimal support. Add in additional stressors such as trauma, challenging family dynamics, or parenting, and it can feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode. However, you are not alone. Therapy is a wonderful tool to help release pressure and learn ways to manage challenging emotions so that you can be your best self.

Harvest House is a dream that was born out of a passion for promoting healthy relationships in families, marriages, and individuals as they work toward hope and healing.

Therapy can feel broad and overwhelming. To simplify our approach, we'll seek acceptance and control of adversities that seem to dictate your life. Whatever stressors weigh on you, we'll troubleshoot what hasn't been working and process new tools to put in place. It is my responsibility to adapt to your preferences and ways of learning. I'll provide a space for you that can range from open discussion and exploration, to structured activities and weekly goals. Additionally, these steps are flexible and can be done in a matter of time that fits what you hope to achieve. All possible with individual, couples, and/or family therapy.
