Hi my name is Erin and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 8 years of experience. I have helped individuals with a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and self-love. I have used a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as mindfulness meditation and Christian counseling, but mostly I just love to listen and reflect back a new, non-judgmental perspective.
I would describe myself as kind and laid-back. I choose to sacrifice uber-professionalism for "keeping it real." Talking to me is like talking to a friend who happens to have a lot of mental health knowledge and experience, while also maintaining professional ethics and boundaries. I perceive things on a deeper and often more spiritual level than most, and I will tell you what I really think in a kind, empathetic way. I also like to use humor, not to make light of a serious situation, but to add some silver lining and a positive way of coping.
It would be my pleasure to meet you so you can determine if there is a connection and I am a good fit to help you.
