There is a particular emphasis on creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ people.

Erin uses clear language and practical exercises rather than jargon. Clients can expect a warm, steady approach that balances listening with concrete skills. She pays attention to communication patterns, boundaries, and how past experiences shape present reactions.
When needed, she blends emotional exploration with skill-building for coping and regulation.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Erin draws on Systemic therapy to look at patterns between people and how those patterns affect daily life. This helps when communication cycles, roles, or recurring conflicts keep showing up. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early bonds shape emotions and reactions, which can help with intimacy, trust, and managing strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative so clients help guide which strategies feel useful and realistic for their lives.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make attending work with busy schedules. Video lets you work face to face for deeper conversation. Phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is low or when you want to be off camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
