A little bit about me and what’s in it for you.

Hey there.  I’m Erin, and I’m glad you’re here, as this could be the first step towards rewriting your story. 

I’m wondering if you’re feeling stuck in life? Overwhelmed? Fearful of making any changes? Not sure what’s happening in the world and where you fit in?  Experiencing job or relationship stress? As a result, anxiety and depression might be creeping into your experience and exacerbating all the feelings of stuck-ness, hopelessness, and overwhelm. I know what you’re talking about, as I have experienced the same.  Which is where I come in.

While successful in my career (lengthy history working for a global automotive distributor), my dream of becoming a therapist would not leave me alone, so I finally decided at age 42 to return to graduate school for my Masters in Clinical Psychology. I wanted to serve in a different way with a more individualized focus to help individuals and couples change their problem stories for the better.

I offer telehealth therapy sessions for individuals and couples in California. I work with clients from all walks in life:  Individuals in recovery, people that travel with depression and anxiety, relational distress, folks that experience job stress and unhappiness, Complex PTSD, grief, chronic illness, and couples that experience a hefty communication mismatch and mistrust. I am LGBTQ+ and non-binary affirming - it is important to me to see every client right where they’re at and without judgement - particularly those from marginalized communities and the global majority.

A learner for life, I have supplemented my Narrative Therapy training with the following skills/trainings:

• AASECT Sex Therapy training program with the Buehler Institute

• Level 2 Reiki practitioner

• Grief training with Janina Fisher

• Internal Family Systems (IFS informed)

• Somatic Parts Work

• Short-Course Mindful Self Compassion

• IFS and memoir writing

• Somatic EMDR Practioner

I practice from a kind, non-pathologizing, and collaborative perspective. I am open-minded and empathetic to facilitate the creation of space from the problem that’s operating on your life. My goal is to serve you as a compassionate witness and travel with you as we unearth new outcomes for your life that are more in line with your desires and values.
