I believe the first and most sacred job of a therapist is to create a safe, nurturing space where you are fully seen and heard. From that space, I will walk with you along your path of growth and healing, helping to guide you on your journey. If you struggle with mood or anxiety, want to resolve issues from your past, feel overwhelmed navigating life changes, or simply need support, I can help you untangle the threads and begin to get relief.

I specialize in working with children who feel easily overwhelmed, whether that shows up as anxiety, shutdown, or emotional outbursts. I also support teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I help clients learn to understand their emotions, regulate their reactions, and build confidence through engaging, developmentally appropriate approaches so they can feel more in control in their daily lives.

People often come to me for therapy when they’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. They may be navigating relationship stress, self-doubt, major transitions, or the strain of caring for others while feeling depleted. With my additional work experience in a high-volume, high-acuity Emergency Department—and as a mother, partner, and working professional—I understand how complex life can feel. I’m comfortable supporting both health care providers and anyone facing intense emotions. Many seek a steady, warm therapist who helps them gain clarity and create meaningful change.

Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve an affirming space to explore your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces. I enjoy working with trauma survivors, folks with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, immigrants/adult children of immigrants, and aspiring cycle-breakers. I believe that healing is not only a tool for inner transformation but also a catalyst for our collective liberation.

Together, we'll work to understand the function of your patterns, regulate emotions, process past pain, explore identity, develop executive functioning skills, resolve guilt or shame, process family dynamics, improve distress tolerance, enhance communication, and address intimacy challenges. In counseling teens and adults, I use cognitive, behavioral, relational and mindfulness-based approaches to explore how past experiences may be influencing patterns of avoidance or self-protection, negative thoughts, OCD-tendencies, impulsivity, sadness, worry and little to no pleasure in life.

Coming to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong with you, or you failed because you couldn't "fix it" yourself. Like many people I see, you might consider yourself aggressively capable. As a result, you may find it hard to trust and rely on others. When you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and are reluctant to ask for help, it is likely to lead to overwhelm. Here's what's true: your well-being MATTERS and affects the quality of your life and relationships. We'll work to identify what's in the way of living a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

In our work together, we process experiences, explore the full range of emotions, understand the impact of past and present events, and develop strategies to resolve internal and relational conflicts.

You feel anxious, guilty, and stretched too thin. Old family patterns show up in your relationships, leaving you resentful, angry, or unsure of yourself. Living with ADHD or other neurodivergence may add to the overwhelm, making it harder to keep up with the demands of parenting, partnership, and work. You find yourself snapping or shutting down, then feeling weighed down by guilt and self-doubt. More than anything, you want to feel grounded, confident, and present again. I help parents and therapists navigate anxiety, identity, and relationships with compassion through a trauma-informed, attachment-based, feminist lens.

My clients are often thoughtful professionals who are driven, reflective, and emotionally attuned. Still, many of them find themselves stuck: overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, even after years of personal growth. I work with both individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, burnout, and relationship stress through a blend of existential therapy, ACT, and mind-body approaches such as hypnosis. I've completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 & 2, and I integrate its principles combined with attachment theory to help partners communicate with greater clarity, emotional honesty, and compassion.

I work with young adults navigating the complexities of independence and attachment, trust and confidence, peer and sibling dynamics, dating and commitment, trauma, school and career transitions, sexual identity and intimacy, and overall well-being. Young adulthood is often a time of rapid growth and uncertainty, and therapy can provide space to make sense of these experiences with greater clarity and intention. I affirm and support clients who identify as BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent. Together, we identify and implement strategies to manage cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns.

Hi, I'm Erin. It’s an honor to help my clients self-actualize through direct and indirect exploration of their history, thoughts, feelings, and belief systems. I tailor my approach to each individual, but believe that radical honesty and unconditional regard are the foundation of real transformation. Happy to work with clients from all backgrounds, I have lived experience in the social justice, LGBTQIA, kink, and polyamory communities and especially enjoy working with those populations as well as immigrants, folks in recovery, and those living with disability/chronic illness. I look forward to beginning our therapy journey together!

My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths and uncover new tools to navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. As a psychiatric social worker at Johns Hopkins, I’ve supported clients managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and helped them build coping skills, boundaries, and insight into life patterns.
