About

Hi, I’m Erin!

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist and major nerd for all things relationships and attachment. I have a slight obsession with rewatching the same shows over and over again and could probably quote you any scene from The Office or Friends. I am married to a guy I very much enjoy spending time with, and we have two little boys together. When people talk about the important things in life, it usually comes back to relationships, and I have always been amazed at what science and faith can teach about them.  

I love to help people who feel disconnected and alone. Learning how to have better relationships so often means figuring out the dark corners of your own soul, too. How can you reasonably connect with someone if you don’t really know or love yourself? My favorite part of my job is helping people figure this out individually and in their relationships. It’s hard work, but I can tell you from personal experience how amazing and life-giving it is to learn how to love yourself well and the person who means the most to you. 

I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is a heavily researched modality in couples therapy. I am also a certified EMDR therapist and love using EMDR to help people clear out the negative thought processes that have plagued them for years. I am licensed in both Ohio and Indiana.

Fun Facts About Me: 

  1. The majority of the day you can find me drinking coffee or some type of seltzer water.
  2. You might see my pets during session – a black cat named Franklin and a black lab named Mack. Seeing your pets during sessions online is one of my favorite parts of virtual therapy. So yes, please introduce me to your pets.
  3. I live in rural Indiana and am so excited for the access virtual therapy is able to offer those of us who don’t have easy access to counseling services.
