About Erin

Many of the couples I work with care deeply about their relationship, but stress, parenting, or old patterns keep getting in the way. Often, they feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected from each other, or unsure how to get back to feeling close. I help couples slow things down, understand what’s really happening underneath conflict, and learn how to reach for each other in ways that feel safer and more supportive.

​

I enjoy working with couples who are parenting or raising families and I understand how much pressure that can put on a relationship. When partners feel more connected and supported, it often creates more emotional safety for the whole family.

​

My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based, attachment-focused model that helps couples identify patterns, strengthen emotional bonds, and create safer, more secure relationships. I also offer practical tools to help partners feel more grounded and regulated, especially during emotionally charged moments. I help clients develop awareness of their nervous system, build emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with their bodies as a source of wisdom.

​

Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I have over 15 years of experience as a yoga teacher and 8 years as an astrologer. I draw from these ancient systems as needed and when helpful to my clients. To sum it up, I am a holistic wellness provider with a strong sense for the emotional experience underlying our relational conflicts. I enjoy journeying alongside my clients on this challenging path in the most easeful, playful and rewarding way possible.
