About My Clients

With experience in correctional settings, early intervention, and developmental disabilities, Erin brings a trauma-informed, client-centered lens to her work. She is especially passionate about supporting clients with complex behavioral health needs, neurodiversity, and those involved in the foster care or adoption system. Her integrative approach honors each individual’s voice, values, and lived experience, promoting resilience and lasting change. Open to all ages.

My Background and Approach

Specializations; treating anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, intellectual and developmental disorders, and psychosis, with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process that honors each person’s unique voice, values, and lived experience. By taking an integrative approach, I strive to meet clients where they are, drawing from evidence-based practices while adapting to their individual needs. I see each person as the expert in their own life and view my role as a supportive guide in helping them build resilience, process challenges, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued throughout their healing journey.
