About Erin
With 31 years of experience, she shapes sessions around each person’s needs. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to focus on what’s causing current struggles. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the goals.
In sessions she listens with respect and sensitivity, then works with clients to build a plan. That plan may include practical strategies for mood management, coping skills for stress or triggers, and steps to address substance use or codependency. She aims to help people make steady changes they can live with.
Erin has worked with adolescents and adults and brings long-term counseling and case management experience to the work. She pays attention to family of origin issues, dissociation, chronic pain or illness, and multicultural concerns as they come up in therapy.
Her approach emphasizes treating core issues behind current symptoms. She invites a collaborative relationship so clients can try methods and adjust them over time. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on the therapist’s availability.
How these approaches translate to online care
Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the effects of traumatic events. It typically involves gentle pacing, processing of difficult memories, and building coping skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach can help people dealing with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and trauma-related symptoms.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection so goals emerge from the client's own values. This style supports building trust and confidence before trying new skills or strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to develop coping tools for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and impulsivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to try methods, adjust techniques, and set goals that match needs and preferences. Together they check what helps and change course when needed.
Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible check-ins that suit work or family routines. Some people also prefer sessions that do not require being on camera or that use shorter check-ins during a work break; ask about available formats when scheduling.
