Erin is great, I really appreciate her approach, advice, and ability to walk through things to bring perspective to the situations. I like how she navigates the conversation and really allows to talk through everything. I always feel better after our sessions and look forward to the next one.

Working with Erin has been nothing short of life changing! From our very first session she has made me feel comfortable, heard, and validated while at the same time pointing out things I wasn’t even aware needed attention. She has helped me explore and grow in ways I didn’t know possible, and I’m confident that she would provide the same care for anyone else.

Erin is what other people have said on the review. She really listens and work with you. She is calm and thorough, and I can appreciate that. I would recommend her to any one I know. My daughter who is 15 is seeing her as well. She keeps it professional.
