“When you first meet Erin, you are immediately aware of her ability to effectively see the world through your eyes. Her kindness and compassion enter the room before she does. Erin’s has a keen ability to make clients feel safe and supported. She is unbelievably approachable and creates an environment of acceptance both with clients and her colleagues. In every conversation with her, I feel unconditional warmth and know that she is working to see the world through my eyes. I imagine clients feel the same way.

Not only is Erin an extremely compassionate person, I also am blown away at her ability to constantly strive toward improvement. As a doctoral student, Erin seeks to learn and grow in the field of counseling but has also proven herself as an expert in many ways.

I feel so unbelievably lucky that I get to work with Erin everyday and to get to be a part of her journey as a counselor. Her intentionality, self-awareness, compassion, and incredible sense of humor are truly unmatched.
