Welcome, I’m Erin.
I believe we all possess an innate healing wisdom. And that we all deserve joy, ease, pleasure, and connection.
We all have a unique path, an unfolding story to tell, and various crossroads to navigate our journey through life. At times the path may be difficult; you may feel lost and unable to find your way or change direction alone. It may be a crisis in a family or relationship, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief/loss, difficulties with work or school, or an inner sense that something is just not right. Our natural state is one of joy and well-being but experiences in life can cause suffering and create separation from our self and from others.
I am a body-centered psychotherapist with post graduate training in Bioenergetic Analysis. I specialize in working with complex and developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral addictions, as well as interpersonal and relational challenges. I take a holistic approach based on the premise that mind and body function as one and integrate modern science and ancient wisdom to support personal transformation. I utilize a trauma informed lens and integrate poly-vagal theory, attachment theory, mindfulness, psychodynamic and transpersonal modalities in my practice. However, I believe that the real healing power is in the genuine relationship and connection between us; together we will work to discover and co-create the ‘right’ kind of therapy for you.
Our sessions will likely include some traditional talk therapy as well as somatic practices (i.e. breath work, movement) and various forms of mindfulness, as a means to reclaiming your relationship to your body and the healing wisdom it carries. Working through a holistic lens, I’ll also invite you to consider how all aspects of your lifestyle play a role in your current circumstances (i.e. your diet, sleep, self care routine, etc).
The highest form of personal healing contributes to collective liberation. It is a sacred privilege to do this work with others and for myself; I would be honored to support you in your journey home to yourself.

“The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering”.
— Carl Jung
