A little bit about me…

I’m Erin (she/her)…a Charleston native who loves being near the water, playing with her camera, listening to music, discovering new cultural experiences, traveling, doing DIY projects, and relaxing with friends. I’m a die-hard Rattler (Florida A&M University) and a proud Gator (University of Florida). My greatest asset is my love for laughter. You can hear it down the hall and around the corner! I’m also a licensed psychologist in the Charlotte area.

If only I had always been so sure of who I am. As life required more of me, my usual way of handling things no longer worked. Over time, I had to lean on my circle of support, invest in my growth, and get honest with myself. I needed to reauthor my life story! That process required some hard work, and I know that I’m still evolving. My own healing allows me to be better (more present) in my work, relationships, and daily life.

For 20 years, I have been blessed with opportunities to work with adolescents, families, and adults across many settings. Through all of these experiences, I have specialized in anxiety and trauma. More specifically, I have helped individuals tackle uncontrollable worry, resolve grief, improve family relationships, increase self-esteem, grow from traumatic experiences, and overcome perfectionism. Other clinical interests include working with persons of oppressed groups and conducting comprehensive psychological assessment. I have extensive training in trauma-responsive, attachment-based, and culturally-appropriate interventions.

My therapeutic approach primarily extends from ample training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Therapeutic Assessment. My strengths-based approach helps me connect with therapy participants in a way that instills hope, fosters confidence, and promotes growth.
