With seven years of clinical experience, Erin has worked with a range of concerns from caregiving stress and aging issues to communication and commitment questions. She welcomes people who want help sorting through emotions, building coping skills, and planning next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Erin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward personal values, which can be useful for codependency and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin treats the process as a collaboration and will help clients test approaches and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and tailors methods to each person's needs.
