About me

Hello, you fantastic human, you! Are you seeking talk therapy with a side of creative expression such as music, poetry, art, and movement? Are you looking for a trustworthy guide to illuminate the path towards meaning and purpose? I work with clients whose challenges may relate to anxiety, depression, identity, spiritual wounding, sexual abuse and other traumas, and substance use. Are you curious about identifying where you've been and determining where you're heading in your story through the use of creative expression and imagination? In addition to my specialized trauma-informed training in mental health, including various evidence-based interventions, I am also a songwriter and poet and have a background in working with addictions and expressive therapy techniques including lyric and song writing, poetry, and movement.
Although we're the experts of our own lives, sometimes we need someone to hold a steady lantern for us as we navigate the often dark and rocky terrain of life--someone to help us gain perspective and vision. I hope I can be that light-bearer, walking alongside you as you learn to honor your story, nurture your purpose, and embody bravery.

You can learn a little bit more by checking out my website at www.brave-bones.com (make sure you add the dash) *OR* you can follow me on Instagram @ourbravebones

Erin is wonderful! Speaking with her has helped my mood and overall mental state tremendously. I feel very at ease in all the sessions and like it truly is my time, and that my feelings and thoughts can take up as much space as they need to - which isn't always possible in my day to day. I'm a big fan and would highly recommend her assistance to those seeking to explore themselves and their emotions

I highly recommend Erin, she understands me, listens to me, and gives me advice on this crazy thing called life. She makes me feel completely comfortable in talking about anything without any kind judgment or criticism. So if there is anything more I could say, it would be that I'm very thankful I chose her.
