Therapist

Hey, I’m Erin. I’m a therapist who believes you don’t have to hit rock bottom to deserve support and you definitely don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

With over a decade of experience, I help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for change get clearer, feel more grounded, and move forward with intention. My approach is direct but compassionate; I’ll hold space for you, but I’ll also gently challenge you when it matters.

Therapy with me is a mix of real conversation, practical tools, and meaningful reflection. You can expect honesty, warmth, and a space where you can be fully yourself....no filters needed.

I earned my Masters of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Decatur, GA


You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

  • Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
  • High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.
