More about me

Licensing: LCSW, LISW-S Years in Practice: 20 State: Georgia

Wherever you are in this moment, is OKAY. The fast pace of today's society can leave us feeling overwhelmed and depleted. Let's work together to identify your stressors and develop positive, mindful coping strategies to make life just a little more bearable. My focus is working with adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression. I will work with you to help identify your triggers and explore strategies to manage your symptoms of depression and anxiety.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in connection with mindfulness and holistic concepts to assist you in learning strategies to manage your thoughts, feelings and actions. I personally find that nature is a grounding source for me. I integrate holistic aspects into our work to help you find your source of strength and calm.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Erin is a an amazing therapist. She is caring and smart. She helped understand myself, manage my anxiety and stop several addictions. I'll never thank her enough for all the positive impact this experience has on me.

Overall

Erin is amazing! She has a very calming presence and she has helped me work through a lot. I really appreciate her expertise and how well she understands me and my struggles with ADHD and anxiety. I have learned many tools from her that I will take with me! I also appreciate that whenever I come back, it feels like I haven't left and we pick right back up where we left off.

Overall

She was my guiding light when I needed to understand myself, and she has been consistent in reminding me what I needed reminding of to be the better version of myself. She is truly understanding and is not 'pushy', and many a time has she helped turn an awful week into a "not so bad after all" one. Highly recommended!

Erin is kind and caring. Her therapy expertise is great and through these 2 years of work I have successfully stoped smoking, strongly reduced driking. I fought agsint my negative thoughts and poor coping skills and developped a better self esteem and habits. I allowed myself to fall in love, to vulnerable, and still to strongly support my self esteem and care for myself and others. A big thank you again!

Overall

She's amazing. She listens, guides gently, helps you explore things you have kept locked up since eons. She's the reason I've been with BetterHelp for over a year now. I feel so much better since I started working on myself, discovering me, and having the support I've always needed and never found before.

Overall

Erin is a complete gem of a human being! When I matched with Erin and we had our first session, I knew that we were going to connect easily. Erin is an easy person to open up to and does so on your timeline. Erin has given me the tools to manage and identify my S.A triggers.. and I have learned so much about my own triggers and bodily responses that I wasn’t aware of before. I now have a much better understanding of myself, my boundaries, and what I need during times of stress and anxiety. She has also helped me greatly with managing my ADHD through different tips, tricks, and resources. Erin overall is such a caring listener, a cheerleader, and asks thought provoking questions that push you in the right direction!

Overall

Have been working with Erin for just over a year now, and she has been there for me when things got really bad, and also when things were getting better. She has been cheering me on, supporting me, validating me and giving me good insight on what to work on next, and that has made me more confident, and able to face things that alone I did not want to even consider, let alone face. Absolutely love working with her and look forward to our weekly chats.

Erin is wonderful. Her skill set is great. Her feedback is always just what I need to hear. I’m thankful for her. I recommend Better Help several times a week.

Overall

I'm having such a great experience with Erin. I went through a few councillors before finding her and it's been exactly what I need. She has such a big heart and is really helping me to heal.

S.H.·Nov 01, 2021

Overall

I found Erin to be extremely helpful, even when I am not seeking out her help directly during the week, given that she posts articles relating to things that I may be passing from, to read and think through. Her style is easy-going and understanding, and she gives a lot of validation which is what I apparently needed to start believing in myself and start seeing some positivie results on the goals we agreed upon. I would definitely recommend her!

M.Y.·Oct 04, 2021

Overall

When I first signed up for BetterHelp, I was reluctant to take the plunge. However, after being marched and having read Erin's biography I immediately felt a warmth and care so I took a chance. Thank goodness I did. Erin has been so genuine, responsive and thoughtful throughout this whole process, always going above and beyond whenever she can. I am so grateful to have had her as a support these last few months.

Erin has been very helpful to help me view things in more of a constructive manner, to see the bright side of things. I'm so thankful for every session and for her feedback on my journal entries. Thank you Erin

Erin is an amazing counselor. Each meeting i had with her, she pointed at something I could not see by myself. She pushes me up all the time, listens carefully and never judges. It makes me happy to know i have a meeting with her and gives it me great confidence in myself to solve the things I want to solve Many thanks Erin !

A.R.·Sep 05, 2021

Overall

Erin has been my counsellor for a few months, and I really enjoy working with her. I had felt very stuck with a confusing and overwhelming amount of emotions and anxiety for a while when we met. Erin is really positive and from the first session she gave me the confidence that I was going to get out of my feelings of being overwhelmed! Erin encouraged me to journal and use the chat function frequently, to which she responds quickly. The chat function was new to me, but using it really showed me the power of frequent contact as I feel like Erin got to know me quicker and was able to provide support better and more often. During our sessions, Erin offers many easy practical techniques, which I found simple to integrate and slowly build on each other. She also occassionally sends inspiring prompts for journalling and interesting articles on mental health techniques. Overall, Erin is really helping me gain insights in my anxiety and understand how it arises and how to prevent/mitigate!

S.A.·Aug 16, 2021

Overall

Erin is wonderful! I was so hesitant to start counseling. It has changed my life. Erin is very experienced and knowledgeable. She always checks in on me between sessions. She responds promptly when I message her. I’m so thankful I chose her as my counselor!

Erin is so kind, compassionate and warm. I always looked forward to my video sessions and was able to find a lot of clarity throughout them. I’m incredibly grateful and would definitely recommend Erin to anyone looking to navigate through life with a bit more ease.

Overall

Erin is very kind, thoughtful, and its clear that she is very skilled and experienced in what she does. I have always felt heard, and you experience as being one of Erin's clients has been incredibly helpful and validating. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

L.E.·Jul 24, 2021

Overall

Erin has been very helpful to me as I navigate separation from my husband. She offers me ways to examine the difficult times I am going through and helps me understand the unfamiliar feelings I am feeling, and how to make sense of everything. Her neutral guidance helps me look at the events that hurt me with less emotion, but she also has helped me understand that if I don't feel the feelings I have I can't move past them, and that's important.

L.E.·Jul 07, 2021

Overall

Erin makes you feel like you are home. I've felt nothing but comfort and safety with Erin. She speaks to me like a human being and friend and when you struggle with so many issues, that can be huge. The 180 I've made is just unbelievable. I don't even recognize myself anymore but in a good way. I'm happy and working toward living my life to the fullest. I'm just over the moon I found her.

S.H.·Jun 27, 2021

Overall

Erin was a really good listener and made me feel comfortable talking about different issues without feeling judged. She offered some invaluable advice, pointed me towards useful resources and checked in with me regularly to see how I was and also provide encouragement. I would definitely recommend her to others.
