Hi, thank you for taking a moment to view my page. We all face a world that is so fast paced, full of distraction and demands on our time and attention. I view therapy as a space to take rest from this rush and cultivate mindfulness and a sense of presence. Therapy is an opportunity to take a moment to hear one's self and identify where am I, where have I been, and most importantly where am I going? Therapy can be a radical act of self care when we learn to validate what we need to help ourselves move forward and how to let go of what no longer serves us.

Whether you're struggling personally or in your relationships, I can help you to navigate through the difficulties of life. I can help you to process your past and current experiences, develop strategies and skills to effectively cope with difficult situations, and collaborate with you to foster your aspirations so that you can evolve into the person you ultimately envision yourself as.

Let me help you process, heal and move beyond trauma, anxiety, depression, life challenges, and perceived limitations to improve quality of life, find peace, fulfillment and happiness in your life and relationships. I provide a comfortable, non judgmental environment for individuals, couples and children 9 and up. In person and virtual appointments available.

Hi and Welcome. Seeking help and support is a huge first step that can be scary and I am honored to be considered to join you along your journey of healing, self improvement, and working towards achieving your goals. I have worked in mental health for 17 years and have experience working in residential treatment centers, homeless shelters, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, juvi, jails, prisons, ERs, County crisis work, and private practice settings providing individual and group therapy virtually.

I'm a kind, patient, and intelligent therapist who works great with adult individuals and couples that are facing challenging life transitions. This includes, but is not limited to, retirement, moving, new or lost job, becoming new parents, chronic health diagnosis, caretaker burden or loss of a loved one. I understand that going through loss and transition can feel overwhelming, isolating, scary, make someone feel lost, stuck or angry, and have a negative impact on one's sleep, nutrition, relationships, and daily functioning in life.

Erin has over 20 years experience in the mental health and substance use fields. As a Psychotherapist, Erin uses a holistic approach to her work addressing the mind, body and spirit connection within the systems of being. She is proficient in a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), harm reduction while incorporating breathwork, yoga, ceremony, nutrition, and mediation into her work. She has treated individuals, couples, and families, coping with acute psychiatric disorders, systems disorders, as well as existential and quality of life concerns.

Any individual that is suffering from addiction, a lack of motivation to conquer their goals, or looking to explore a deeper practice of mindfulness in their day to day life can benefit from the ongoing support that counseling can provide. Chronic relapsing, low self esteem, and barriers created through active addiction will prevent us from recovery. Maybe you have a family member that is suffering or you would like to receive more information on substance use disorder, I can help educate and provide coping strategies to give you more peace of mind as you support your loved one.

Are you ready to put in the work to improve the quality of your life and relationships? I help clients get out of their own way by helping them find more helpful thought and action paths forward. If you are an individual wanting to find a path towards a happier, calmer and more fulfilling life and relationships, and ready to put in the work, then we are a good fit. My non-judgmental, direct, and educated approach using evidence-based interventions helps lead my clients to feel satisfaction and success with their therapy goals when working with me. My high client retention, referrals and waitlist are a testament to this.

Are you ready to feel better? Then you are in the right place. We are a private practice composed of 6 therapists who provide high quality in-person and online individual, couples, and family therapy. Our mission is to bring our clients a sense of peace and balance by providing quality, evidence-based counseling practices to educate, support, and heal individuals, families and the community. We work with clients who would like to improve their overall life satisfaction, mood, anxiety management, relationships, process trauma, want to live a happier and more fulfilling life, and more.

You feel like you’re running a race that never ends. Life keeps piling up and you’re overwhelmed. You feel pressure from other people, work, school, expectations you have for yourself. And you can’t live up to it all. Perhaps you’ve recently gone through a big life change, or little things have been adding up for years. You’re not sure how much longer you can keep going like this. You want life to be easier and not so chaotic.

Clients have varied reasons for coming to therapy, and my approach is to meet you wherever you are on your journey, to work collaboratively to find the best ways forward. I focus first on building trust together, establishing a solid working relationship, and deciding together whether I am the right fit for what you want to achieve in therapy, because those are crucial elements for achieving therapeutic goals.

Does life feel overwhelming for you sometimes? Are you looking for ways to integrate more presence throughout your day? Do you wish to experience increased satisfaction in your relationships with yourself and with others? Would you like to cultivate a relationship with yourself that accepts you just as you are and feels nourishing and nurturing? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, I may be a good fit for you, as a warm and genuine witness on your journey, supporting you in your goals for a more fulfilling life. I am licensed in both CA and NV.

You have BIG feelings and they get the best of you and you lose it or you hide them so the world can’t use them against you. But you can’t slow down for fear of what may happen if painful memories overwhelm you. There are parts of you that are just too much and you don't know what to do. You want to break down unhelpful patterns of overthinking, build self-esteem and be able to say "no". You can learn about how your mind & body work together - let me help you with that. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and often just need to be led to insight and change.

The first time I sought therapy, my heart was broken. Not just from a relationship ending, but from a dawning realization that parts of me felt unworthy of love. Looking back now, such painful forays into therapy are also, in a way, exciting. They are a wake up call to evolve, to shed an old skin, and to transform into a more alive and pure us. To let go of worn out, imprisoning, and burdensome stories, beliefs, and defenses. The catalyst - the challenging event or circumstances that brought you to these words - is probably a doorway, and could be the beginning of a grand adventure…

You're lost in the weeds of to-do's, obligations, & responsibilities; your mind a cacophony of distractions clamoring for your attention. At some point, this life you built got so busy that you're no longer enjoying it. Instead, you're overwhelmed by the anxiety of it all; sure that something will go horribly wrong. You tell yourself that these worries aren't real, just scary stories you contemplate- your own "monster under the bed". So you push them to the back of your mind and slap a smile on your face, forging on. Unfortunately, until we open the door to face the boogeyman, that gnawing feeling of dread won't ever really go away.
