Message from Erin

“I believe that it’s easy to overlook our needs in today’s fast-paced world, setting us up to experience feelings of disconnect. It’s my mission to provide you with a safe, supportive space to cope with current life stressors, explore barriers, examine the meaning of events, and increase feelings of self-reliance so that you can feel empowered. I hope that in providing an objective perspective, I can assist you in cultivating a deeper understanding of self so that you feel confident navigating what life throws at you. It is my firm belief that the brain has a beautiful ability to heal itself.”
