YOur MIND has likely been trying to “solve” this for years
For the high-achievers, over-givers, over-thinkers and perfectionists who have spent far too long believing they’re not enough.

You'll learn strategies to quiet your inner critic, create healthier boundaries, feel more confident to take risks so you feel more connected t
You might recognize yourself:
Insight can explain you’re stuck patterns, but it rarely leads to lasting change.
WHY THESE PATTERNS HAVEN’T BUDGED NO MATTER HOW WELL YOU UNDERSTAND THEM
Understanding why you think, feel, or behave the way you do is an important part of therapy. The people I work with are all extremely intelligent, thoughtful, deeply insightful, and committed to self-growth.
The problem isn’t a lack of insight or a failure of willpower or motivation.
Think about how many times you’ve said to yourself “I know what I should to” but then struggle to turn that into action. We often believe that if we out think our patterns, we’ll change them. We try all the new tools, all the strategies, but instead of fighting them, transformation actually starts with respecting them.
Instead of fighting them, we'll begin understanding how they've been “survival strategies” trying to protect or help you.
Therapy becomes a place to practice something different.
Instead of automatically criticizing yourself, shutting down, overthinking, or pushing through, you'll learn to notice those reactions as they happen, in real time. Together, we’ll help you recognize what’s happening beneath your automatic reactions to begin choosing responses that feel more like your true self than the survival strategies you’ve been using to manage.
Lasting change doesn't just happen when you understand yourself better, it happens when you begin relating to yourself differently.

Welcome, I’m Erin (she/her)
For nearly two decades, I've helped adults navigate depression, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, and the lasting impact of early childhood trauma including being raised by parents with narcissistic traits.
One thing I've learned in my personal life and work, is true, sustained change rarely comes from trying harder—or simply understanding yourself more.
It comes from slowing down enough to understand the patterns that have been protecting you, approaching them with compassion instead of criticism, and creating new experiences that allow genuine change to happen.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and dynamic, integrating various therapies including Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, Neuroscience and Attachment that honor the powerful connection between mind and body and go beyond what the ‘thinking mind’ alone can resolve.

While it looks different for everyone, anxiety is often experienced as over-thinking, persistent worry or the body’s nervous system running on high gear which can be experienced as heart palpitations, sweating, and difficulty focusing. I specialize in therapy that’s focused on helping you tame anxiety in the body and mind.

Do you struggle with limiting beliefs about not being “enough” - smart enough, good enough, successful enough, or question if you're worthy of love? Do you feel like an imposter in different areas of your life? While it’s not easy, self-esteem therapy can help you overcome these narratives so you can live life more authentically.

While we can’t always escape periods of sadness in life, when these moments turn to weeks or months, or become more intense or chronic, it can signal something deeper like a depressive episode. Work burnout is when we feel drained or have less energy or motivation at work. And when left unaddressed, it can seep into other areas of life impacting our relationships, ability to experience pleasure and satisfaction. I offer therapy specifically for employees in high-tech or healthcare who are experiencing chronic stress and burnout.

Even life transitions that are welcomed can bring a range of complicated emotions and experiences. Whether relocating to a new place, changing careers, welcoming a new family member, or experiencing the grief of ending a relationship or losing a loved one or beloved pet, change can be arduous and painful. I offer counseling and support for adults wanting to stay grounded as they negotiate big life changes or loss.

I’d love to hear from you
Finding the right therapist matters.
Therapy is a meaningful investment in your well-being, and finding someone you genuinely connect with is crucial.
I offer a complimentary 30-45-minute video consultation to explore what you’re looking for, answer your questions and determine if my approach is a good fit. Because this work asks us to share openly, I always encourage new clients to meet with several practitioners and if I’m not the best fit, I’ll offer referrals to ensure you receive the support you deserve.
