About me

Welcome and congratulations. You have taken the first step in your journey toward healing and self-discovery. You have taken action for yourself to continue to be your best self. Your bravery is my continued hope.

I am a Mental Health Clinician dually licensed in Massachusetts and Rhode Island with 9+ years of clinical experience. I have provided therapeutic services in a multitude of settings: Outpatient, Inpatient, Residential, and Criminal Justice settings. I have experience working with individuals faced with some of the following challenges: anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship concerns, life transitions, challenging family systems, physical and emotional trauma, and grief and loss. As a helping professional and yoga teacher, I draw from my clinical experiences, my education, and life coach training.

The precious gift of therapy is an investment in yourself - it is a commitment of time offering learning, empowerment, and skill acquisition. I will create a space absent of judgment to allow you to speak freely. The space may at times feel uncomfortable or challenging, but the opposing feelings often represent hard work and growth on your behalf.

I offer several traditional and non-traditional modalities of healing and wellness. Together we will work to identify how your feelings and thought processes resonate in your physical body. Our work together might also include the use of Emotional Freedom techniques, muscle testing, and somatic yogic movement, due to the deep connection between the mind and our body. Movement creates confidence and fosters action leading to change. Therapy is the reconnection of your mind and body.

We will focus on your strengths, and I will continue to remind you to be gentle with yourself and know that you are always loved by someone. Congratulations again on taking this important and necessary step making lasting changes in your life. Welcome to your journey of personal growth.

I look forward to working with you.

She’s so warm and easy to talk to. Erin is the best person I have worked with on my mental health journey

Erin is incredibly effective in ushering me through this first-ever process of self-exploration. She listens, without judgement, and offers up the most thoughtful counsel, whether it be a new way of thinking about something or the perfect resource. On the road to discovery, she's a world-class guide.

I highly recommend Erin to anyone considering working with her. Erin is an amazing woman with a wealth of knowledge. She has counselled me through some very rough times, and helped me to realise the strength I had within me and how to utilise these tools within my every day life to the best of my ability. She is kind, patient and completely non judgemental and looked at my life holistically & helped me to understand other aspects of my life which might have been prohibiting me from growing in a positive way. She has never pushed me to talk about or do anything I’ve felt uncomfortable with, but she asks thought provoking questions, which in turn have helped me long term and helped me to reevaluate my priorities & boundaries. I have never felt pressured, patronised or disrespected during my time with Erin. Through loss, grief, heartache & professional upheaval, Erin has guided me; through positive reinforcements & perspective reevaluation, this has helped me to evaluate my priorities in life. I can’t express how valuable it has been working with Erin, she has a fabulous memory and deep consideration for my feelings and never misses a beat when it comes to the real issues, yet she is gentle in her approach, which has made my journey so enjoyable. I will miss our weekly meetings, but I know that I’m ready to fly on my own now, taking her advise and utilising my own tool box. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her & I give her the highest regards possible. Thank you Erin.

Erin is an amazing counselor--she is patient, kind, non-judgmental and really hones in on my current issues. I feel at ease talking with her and always feel a sense of calmness after our sessions. My family and friends even noticed a difference in my attitude after just a few sessions. Erin's helped me to be able to identify certain patterns in my thinking and behavior and we discuss goals to address any issues. I highly recommend Erin to anyone who experiences high stress, anxiety, depression, or family conflict--she's helped me and continues to help me tremendously in all of those areas.
