Hello, my name is Erin and I'm a Perinatal Mental Health Certified Therapist (PMH-C), as well as a mother of two young boys. I've been in the trenches of pregnancy and postpartum with a little one and I can personally understand the struggle.
As you are navigating pregnancy and postpartum, you might notice that you don't feel happy about your transition to motherhood, and it might not feel natural. You might not recognize the sadness or anger you are feeling, and all you want more than anything, is to feel connected to your baby. You want to feel better about this new time of your life, enjoy your child, and feel more confident in yourself. I specialize in helping women through this vulnerable motherhood journey.
As a perinatal, motherhood and trauma therapist, I can help you be more compassionate towards yourself, empower you to recognize your needs, and feel more confident as a mother.

MY SERVICES
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
MINDFULNESS & GUIDED IMAGERY
BRAINSPOTTING
CBT is one of the golden standards for treating anxiety and depression. I can support you by helping you track your moods, triggering events, and resulting feelings and behaviors. We will work together to reframe unhealthy patterns of thinking to improve your quality of mind and life.
I can incorporate mindfulness and guided imagery into our sessions. These interventions are aimed at helping calm the nervous system through the use of breathwork and other strategies to concentrate the mind on the present moment.
I have been trained in Phase I of Brainspotting. This is a therapy treatment for processing and releasing stored neurophysiological sources of pain and trauma using a "Brainspot" found in the visual field. I am actively receiving consultation from a Certified Brainspotting Clinician. You can find out more about Brainspotting at www.brainspotting.com
Facts from Postpartum Support International
Approximately 6% of pregnant women and 10% of postpartum women develop anxiety. Sometimes they experience anxiety alone, and sometimes they experience it in addition to depression.
