Approaches

Erin’s therapeutic philosophy incorporates Adlerian ideals, which focus on acceptance of our humanity and encouragement of the greatest potential within ourselves. Using empathy and validation, Erin listens to your life story to better understand your worldview and unique experiences that led you to the therapy office. Erin also uses Rogerian theory to prioritize unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and empathy to build a therapeutic relationship. This approach helps foster a safe space to make changes you want to address towards a life that is more congruent with values and goals. In addition, Erin likes to integrate the foundations of emotional regulation through cognitive and behavioral therapy models, such as CBT and DBT.

Erin’s Personality

Erin’s personality can be described as easy-going, down-to-earth, open-minded, calm, patient, and finding fun and laughter when appropriate. Erin can be creative, seeing things from different perspectives, relating with metaphors and analogies to describe different concepts and ideas. Erin likes to see things in a broad mindscape, focusing on the root of a strength or challenge instead of being distracted by surface level details.
