02Who this is for

You might be closer to one of these stories than you think.

Fourteen years on the job

Marcus

You get home, shower, sit down, and your body still has not been told the shift ended. You are scanning the driveway. You are short with people you love and quietly appalled by it. Sleep comes in ninety-minute pieces, and the drinking crept up so gradually you could argue it either way. You do not need someone to be shocked by the calls. You need somewhere to set them down that is not the truck.

Carrying something unnamed

Dana

Nothing happened, exactly. No headline, no incident anyone would call trauma. Just years of managing a house's mood, being the easy child, being loved when you were useful. Now you flinch at a certain tone of voice and cannot explain why, and you apologize for taking up room in your own life. You have wondered whether you are allowed to call it anything at all.

Faith and healing in separate rooms

Ruth

You pray about it. You show up on Sunday and you mean it. And you have still been told, gently and often, that more faith would settle what you are carrying — so you have stopped mentioning it. You want a counselor who will not treat your belief as a symptom or your symptoms as a failure of belief. You want both in the same room, without translating.

These are fictitious names and scenarios used only to illustrate real-life situations.

03Hi, I'm Erin

The relationship comes first. Everything else is built on it.

My main focus is establishing the therapeutic relationship. I believe a good connection facilitates effective counseling and the best outcomes — so before we get to technique, we get to know each other. I meet you where you are, stay present in both struggle and progress, and we set treatment goals together with open communication about which approaches are actually working for you.

My mission is to help individuals resolve trauma and childhood attachment injuries and bring their strengths to the table on a daily basis.

For the person everyone relies on, who has not been asked how they are in a long time.
