I’m Erin (she/her)!

I am a Charleston native who loves being near the water, playing with her camera, listening to music, discovering new cultural experiences, traveling, doing DIY projects, spending time with family, and hanging out 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 also happen to be 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 more than 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, navigate grief, improve family relationships, increase self-acceptance, grow from traumatic experiences, and overcome perfectionism. Other clinical interests include working with persons of oppressed groups and decolonizing therapy. I have extensive training in trauma-responsive, attachment-based, and culturally-conscious interventions.

My therapeutic approach primarily extends from ample training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Brainspotting, and Parts Work. I am also trained in 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.
