I help clients navigate complex trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges through a trauma-informed and relational approach. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can heal and find greater meaning.

My practice is a safe place for ALL women and their personal beliefs. I'm here to help women who are struggling with life's inevitable ups and downs. Are you navigating modern motherhood, and work-life "balance" (is there EVER really complete balance)? Does making friends feel like a chore? Maybe it's ADHD, anxiety, or postpartum mood disorder? Is perimenopause knocking at the door? Let's figure it out together. I am kind, but direct in my approach. Please understand that I no longer conduct free consultations. I believe that the best way to truly decide if we are a good fit working together, is to meet and go from there.

I help clients to overcome issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues by working with them to develop the tools that will lead them to health, happiness, and wellbeing. Sometimes the only way to overcome what we are going through is to face our life with honesty, and through this process, awaken our inner guidance system for healing. The obstacle to this, is that we often cannot do so without first telling our story. I offer a safe space for you to tell your story, and can help you on your journey to self-discovery, healing, and reaching your full potential.

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.

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!
