Hello, I'm Erin. With 28 years of experience in the field, I've had the privilege of working with a wide variety of populations in many different settings. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and an MA in Counseling and Rehabilitation. I am independently licensed as a professional counselor in Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri. My practice primarily revolves around an existential-humanistic approach, but I also incorporate evidence-based therapies tailored to treat the specific disorders, symptoms, or behaviors that each individual presents. Additionally, I provide hypnotherapy and EMDR therapy

If you feel stuck, conflicted, or like you should feel more content—but don’t—you’re not alone.
I work with adults who feel misaligned in their life or career and are looking for greater clarity about who they are and how they want to live. Many of my clients are high-achieving on the outside, yet quietly questioning whether the life they’ve built actually feels right.
This can show up as anxiety, burnout, relationship dissatisfaction, or a persistent sense of restlessness or disconnection. Perhaps, nothing is falling apart—but something feels off.

I will work individually with clients in order to provide them with the best care possible, and ensure they are on track to meet their goals.

Unlike talk therapy, which primarily engages the mind, somatic work recognizes that our emotions are not intellectual constructs—they're deeply rooted in the body.
Are you tired of feeling stuck in patterns of stress, overwhelm, or anxiety? Do you feel like you have trauma or emotions stuck in your body? Do you long for a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others? Sleep issues? Do you feel numb like you are just going through the motions? Stuck in fight, fight or freeze? Have you experienced traditional talk therapy but feels like something is missing? If any of these sound like you, you've come to the right place.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
