Erin's approach is warm and supportive and she is well versed in anxiety and dealing with past traumas. She is an excellent listener, can accurately summarize your thoughts while also providing her outside and expert perspective. She asks excellent questions to further clarify your feelings and pursue other areas that might need to be explored. She is extremeny easy to talk to and her warmth would make her an excellent therapist for someone who has been scared to start. She is also well-versed in numerous resources that can enhance your learning experience...I have read two excellent books and worked through some goal-focused jouranling exercises in my work with her that I will be able to return to whenever I need to. Working with Erin is like talking to a very wise friend who just happens to know all sorts of ways to help you be your best self!

Erin is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and intuitive therapist. I have participated in therapy on and off for several years, and Erin is the first clinician who identified that my challenges are connected to PTSD. Her insight has been invaluable, and I highly recommend her.
