Erin has been compassionate, caring, and actively listened during some of my hardest times. Any improvement I've made since the start of therapy is credited largely to her and my support system, which she encouraged me to embrace when I wasn’t before.

Erin is an all around great person, she listens and actually cares about you and how you are doing above and beyond whatever problems you are dealing with while still helping you deal with what you have going on. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

A wonderful therapist and cool person. I feel safe and heard by Erin and would recommend her to everyone. She keeps things casual and intimate and it feels like I’m speaking with an old friend who just happens to be a mental health professional.
