Her work is deeply rooted in the belief that an emotionally healthy mother creates the best outcome for both baby and child, emphasizing the critical importance of maternal well-being in family dynamics.

Specializing in perinatal mental health, Erin completed her certification training in February 2020 and received her official perinatal mental health certification in May 2021.

This program covers crucial topics such as understanding birth trauma, processing birth stories through journaling, and recognizing the systemic failures that often contribute to traumatic birth experiences.

Erin's therapeutic approach is characterized by its client-centered focus, blending professional expertise with empathy and personal experience. She creates a space where mothers can feel safe to be vulnerable, exploring their feelings without judgment. Her work extends beyond traditional therapy, incorporating educational components to empower mothers with knowledge about perinatal mental health, the impact of societal systems on birth experiences, and the importance of mental and emotional well-being in motherhood.
