Hello and Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. Seeking help for your mental well-being is a brave step.
My name is Erin and I am a Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been providing mental health services to a diverse set of clients experiencing a wide variety of issues and challenges since 2009. My approach to therapy is primarily client-centered. I seek to validate and honor your unique experiences from your perspective, and to tap into that self-knowledge as our guiding source for the direction of therapy. In addition to a client-centered approach, I draw upon an array of therapeutic modalities and concepts. I adapt my approach to address each client’s particular set of needs, and we will evolve the approach over time through therapist-client collaboration and as I continue to expand my offerings through my ongoing professional development. Principles that inform my approach come from modalities such as mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), existential therapy, and body-oriented approaches among others.
I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Michigan State University in 2007 and my Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2008. After graduation, I worked in partial hospitalization settings, helping individuals with serious and persistent mental health issues to develop skills to help them manage their symptoms and improve their functioning in a supportive environment. After that I worked for 8 years as a Readjustment Counselor providing psychotherapy to Veterans and their family members, primarily on issues stemming from exposure to combat or sexual traumas during their service. Most recently I lived abroad in Amsterdam for a year and a half, during which time I completed training in teaching Vinyasa Yoga, and also gained knowledge in making yoga practices more trauma-informed. Now that I am back living in the US, I am excited to bring all of these experiences into my therapy practice with you!
I believe each client possesses unalienable strengths, and I seek to help them better connect with these sometimes-underutilized resources. I also recognize that clients exist inside systems and environments that have contributed to the development of their challenges. I seek to meet clients with authenticity, while establishing a supportive, trusting therapeutic relationship that enables the process of healing, self-exploration, and growth.
Outside of my professional practice, I enjoy gardening, yoga, walking my dog, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. I look forward to connecting with you soon to talk more about your interest in therapy.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
