Bring healing and connection back into your life.

I’m Erin, and I help individuals and couples just like you: ones that have it within themselves to become resilient, mentally flexible, and connected to themselves and others, but just need support to get there.

I help my clients find confidence, security, and connectivity by equipping them with the tools needed to resolve traumas, enhance emotional regulation, and improve relationships.

Many solutions for trauma and anxiety treat the cognitive concerns but fail to address the felt experience of these issues leading many to feel stuck. I marry cognitions with felt senses to address both the surface concern and what lies underneath. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I aim to be sensitive to your needs and maintain a focus on improved functioning in areas that matter to you.

First, we’ll explore the state of your nervous system and how this interrupts showing up authentically and cultivating relationships. Then, we will work on a plan to return to a felt sense of safety within the body through a combination of body awareness practices, mindfulness, and behavioral shifts designed to be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll feel more grounded, flexible, and confident to live life as you see fit.

I am dedicated to helping people improve relationships and reduce trauma symptoms.

My training in somatics, EMDR, PACT, and mindfulness means I have the expertise you need and deserve when healing trauma and improving your relationships. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be an adventurous soul struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, and difficult relationships, right?

I get it because I’m a creature of adventure and creativity who understands what it means to live in the mountains and I’ve done my own healing work to attend to my wounded inner child through the use of somatic integration, mindfulness, skiing, and expressive arts. I know what it’s like to be a perfectionist, a people pleaser, and to have painful attachment wounds. Furthermore, I know that these things can be debilitating to one’s well-being. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist, you’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through and has an adventurous spirit to boot.

How I work

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that the body and mind are inextricably linked so both must be addressed in the therapeutic process.

I work with a wide range of experiences from anxiety and depression to complex trauma using a person-centered, integrative approach so I can be adaptable to each client.

I use mindfulness-based interventions to engage both the body and the mind. This helps restructure thought processes as well as underlying belief systems for when our thoughts fail to “make sense” of our feelings.

Working in a “bottom-up way” can help integrate the experiences that can’t be thought away. To do this, I use somatic-oriented approaches and expressive therapies to target what’s living underneath. Such practices include EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and PACT.

HEre’s what I believe about therapy:

This isn't about becoming someone "different."

Therapy is about becoming more yourself. We can do this by balancing the nervous system, discovering your truth, and honoring your authentic nature.

⟶

The best investment you can make is in yourself.

Therapy is a commitment. No change happens overnight, but if you commit to this process you’re inviting in opportunities to shift your experiences for the better.

⟶

You are inherently deserving of the life you want.

Do you want to reduce anxiety? Maybe you want to communicate better. Perhaps the thing you want most is to have healthy, supportive relationships. You deserve happiness, confidence, and good support systems. No prerequisites required.
