Hi, I’m Erin

I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is feeling truly comfortable with the person sitting across from you. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and respected—where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out.

I aim to bring a warm, steady, and collaborative presence into the room. I know starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to feel supported as you settle in at your own pace. Whether you’re coming in with something specific or just a sense that things feel heavy, I’ll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and care.

I work with both children and adults navigating a wide range of experiences, including:

  • Life stress and feeling overwhelmed

  • Major life transitions

  • Anxiety and emotional regulation

  • Grief and loss

  • Identity exploration

  • Relationship concerns

  • The everyday challenges that can start to feel like “too much”

I’m especially drawn to supporting people during times of transition—the in-between seasons where things feel uncertain, shifting, or difficult to put into words.

My Approach

I earned both my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago.

My clinical training has included working with LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults at Center on Halsted, as well as supporting individuals and families at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab as they navigated major life changes related to health, recovery, and independence.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care

As a queer woman, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients. I strive to create an affirming and understanding space for individuals exploring identity, navigating relationships, building self-acceptance, or simply wanting to exist more fully as themselves.

I recognize that identity can be layered and evolving, and I approach this work with both personal insight and professional care. My hope is that you feel seen, supported, and empowered in your experiences.

Grief & Life Changes

I also support clients through grief and loss, whether that loss is recent, ongoing, or complex. I understand that grief doesn’t follow a straight line, and I work alongside you to process it in a way that feels manageable and grounded.

My approach to grief is gentle and collaborative—creating space for both the heaviness and the meaning that can exist within loss.
