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.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change the past, we can work together to understand and resolve the challenges you are facing. In using different therapy approaches and techniques, we will consider behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from having a fulfilling life. Whether you need support in a challenging situation or want to move your life in a new direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I offer EMDR Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, and more.

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is showing up before you even know what you want out of it. If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or like something needs to change but you can't quite name what, that's exactly where we start. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and the kind of life experiences that feel too big to sort out alone. You don't need to come in with clear goals. We'll figure that out together.

I help people of all ages- children, teens, and adults - who are survivors of complex trauma and PTSD. I am passionate about empowering survivors to loosen the chains of trauma and move forward. I use EMDR, DBT, CPT and play therapy to help clients to overcome the inner pain of trauma and build a life that is safer and more grounded. I enjoy helping children through the use of Child Centered Play Therapy and Playful EMDR to support children through challenges like self-esteem, bullying and other school- related problems. With 25 years spent as an educator, I have stood in those hallways and know what kids face. Additionally, I enjoy working with parents to navigate the everyday challenges that arise in parenting in this digital age. I enjoy walking with adolescents and teens who struggle just to get up and go to school each day because I remember what that felt like when I was a teenager. I also enjoy walking with students who self -harm, struggle with suicide ideology, bullying, and navigating peer and parental relationships. I consider it an honor to walk along with Trauma Survivors as a certified Traumatologist. I have supported people in healing from sexual assault, traumatic accidents, profound grief, and many other life-altering events. I feel deeply honored to care for firefighters, police officers, and first responders impacted by they have seen on the job. I offer Animal Assisted Therapy with her French Bulldog, Zoey, who is especially comforting to all of the clients that I see.

I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.

I am a good listener and make my clients feel comfortable sharing anything with me. I am nonjudgmental and suggest the best treatment for them. I have over 12 years experience in counseling having worked in clinics and mental hospitals. Private practice is a good fit for me. I am active in swimming, biking, kayaking and music. I sing and write my own songs and perform occasionally.

Anxiety that won't let up. A relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Grief that shows up at the worst moments. After 24 years working with people through some of the hardest chapters of their lives, I know that reaching out takes real courage — and that it's almost never the wrong call. My clients tell me our sessions feel less like being analyzed and more like being genuinely heard. Whatever you've been carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Hello and welcome! I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in relationship patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and understood while also helping you build tools you can use in your everyday life.

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we may work on understanding patterns, managing stress, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, processing emotions, and strengthening your connection with yourself and others.

I am a New Jersey native and have over 20 years of professional experience working in various clinical and supportive facilities such as Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Outpatient Treatment, State Residential Treatment Centers, Community Mental Health Clinics, Employee Assistance Programs, and Assisted Living centers.
