Background and approach
She encourages small, steady changes that fit into everyday life. Erin uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities. She also draws on motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change and narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult stories.
These approaches are used together to match what a person needs in the moment. She has particular experience supporting caregivers, people facing aging and geriatric issues, and those dealing with hospice or end-of-life concerns. Other areas she often addresses include forgiveness work, isolation or loneliness, and compassion fatigue.
People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach that emphasizes clear goals and small, practical steps. Erin aims to help clients gain tools they can use outside of sessions and to build a steadier sense of self and direction.

How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the individual. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's priorities, helping them find their own solutions and build self-trust. This approach is useful for people facing stress, family concerns, or low self-esteem.Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses short, guided conversations to boost motivation and set realistic next steps, which can be helpful when tackling anger, career shifts, or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting over time as needs change. The process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone wants to reflect between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life and try different formats to see what helps most.
