Hello there! My name is Erin and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (also a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) who is passionate about meeting and supporting my clients so they can heal and reveal the natural potential they have inside of themselves. It takes courage to take the first step in choosing a new therapist to work with and I look forward to helping guide you towards your goals.
I take a client-centered approach and make an effort to meet my clients where they are at, and then together collaborate on an approach and pace the client feels challenging yet realistic and safe. My preferred theoretical approach is integrative and utilizes a variety including CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, Inner Child work, strengths-based, Mindfulness, Attachment theory, Motivational Interviewing, and existential theories. I believe each individual's task is to find meaning and purpose in their life, which can be achieved in infinite ways, and I am excited to be on this journey with you!
I definitely prefer a collaborative approach, I encourage clients to identify areas in their life where they have been feeling lost or stuck, and together we will explore any existing potential barriers that may be keeping them from moving forward, and determine the next steps to get on a healthier and manageable path. Some clients prefer to set goals or assignments to work on in-between sessions, while others prefer to use that time to reflect and come back with new insights the following week. Whatever process works for you, works best.
