I practice a person-centered, trauma-focused approach to cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and solution-focused therapy.
Is your child or teenager experiencing low mood, lack of motivation, loss of interest, poor self-esteem, irritability, sleep issues, anger problems, and/or difficulty managing their emotions and behavior? They aren't alone. We all want our children to be happy, but there are a lot of things that get in the way of that for our youth. Together, we will work on ways to recognize their feelings, identify their negative thought patterns, and develop healthy coping skills to manage strong feelings. Your child will feel heard and supported while developing the tools to live a happier, less stressful life.

My approach is person centered, with the ability to integrate specific skill work and therapies as needed.
Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Struggling to transition or adjust to life stressors? Unsure of how to make sense of your thoughts and feelings? Down in the dumps? I hear you. Life is tough! Sometimes it’s helpful to have someone to talk with about your struggles, and while that can often be a friend or family member, there are times when talking with a professional may be more beneficial.

My work includes using a person-centered approach utilizing CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing.
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.

Waitlist for new clients
I primarily use CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches, but my main focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship with individuals.
Currently accepting new clients who have weekday availability before 3. Have you been feeling bogged down by life? Are past experiences controlling the way you think, feel, and act? Between work, school, relationships, and trying to find yourself, life can feel so stressful and overwhelming. Talking with someone who is open and non-judgmental can be a helpful way of releasing some stress, learning skills to get through these tough times, and better your relationship with yourself and others.

I utilize a person-centered, trauma-informed approach with every individual that I work with.
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!

Specifically, the therapeutic styles that I utilize are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that we as humans are most balanced when we feel safe and understood, non-judgmentally. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I strive to ensure that clients are provided the space to effectively express themselves in a way that makes sense to them. I have experience working with children, teens, families, and couples who can be experiencing challenges with life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, or simply would like a neutral person to talk to.

My deep listening and person-centered approach with clients has facilitated substantial relief from complex concerns.
"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived; however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again". Facing pain and brokenness of the deepest kind requires amazing strength and courage! Counseling is a unique opportunity to connect w/ the overwhelming issues that can block one's most earnest efforts to "do it differently this time". I'd consider it an honor to work with you as you come to understand your story--whether anxiety, discouragement, addictions, relationships. I look forward to collaborating with you in this challenging, yet rewarding work, as you move toward freedom from any concern that holds you back.

Accepting New Clients- Do you find yourself longing for change? You may feel disconnected from what brings you joy or a sense of purpose. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life and the stresses that go with it and you just want to feel calm and centered again. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression and feel like it is time to get help. When we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or anxious it can make it hard to feel like a good partner, spouse, parent, employee, family member or friend. When we are in the middle of an emotional storm it can be difficult to find the path out by ourselves.
