About me

Hi there! I’m Erin. I’m a warm, caring, therapist who truly loves to sit and talk with other humans. I believe therapy is a partnership between people who are intentionally coming together with a goal of greater awareness of our own experiences, our own bodies, and the relationship between us. I work from a developmental trauma lens, and believe we heal through relationships and in connection to our own body.

I take concepts from a variety of different therapeutic modalities, including relational, somatic, humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and gestalt. As a trauma-informed therapist, I often offer somatic (body-based) tools to help you manage and feel big emotions as they come up, and sometimes this will also look / sound like mindfulness.

I love working with a wide range of people from a variety of different backgrounds, and have a particular soft spot for folks working in tech who hold underrepresented identities.

My Background

I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral studies. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was in the world of tech for over a decade. After getting a BS in Computer Science in undergrad, I worked in a technology leadership program at a large Fortune 500 company before moving into product management for growing mid-sized software startups. I loved talking to customers and learning about their needs as a product manager, but I loved building teams, relationships, and support systems within the companies themselves even more. As it turns out, I’ve always loved the people side of things more than the tech.

Oh, hello there!

A few months ago I recorded a little something that addresses what to do when giving feedback is intimidating or even downright scary. Well, I’ve finally posted it on my blog so that you can actually listen. Head on over to the blog on my websi
Y’all, this is my new favorite tea. (And, due to this heat wave we’re having, I can also attest to how wonderful it is iced!) Sometimes comfort comes in small packages.
There’s a lot of new spring energy in my life right now—lots of people making bold moves and big swings. Thought this guy (who I photographed back in March) would be a good reminder for us ALL to embrace the spring, strut our stuff, and h
Happy Monday! Just a little reminder for us all—human- and succulent-kind alike.
It’s so easy to want to push past the unwanted emotions, the stuff that’s hard to feel let alone acknowledge. But what if we imagine that the unwanted emotion is trying to tell us something important? What if your body is trying to hand y
Sitting down to a chai (with marshmallows) in a mug I’ve owned since high school. The taste and smell of chai is something that puts me directly at ease and feeling cozy—a taste and scent I’ve known since, well, high school. This i
Another beautiful book. I should’ve read this one in proper wintertime instead of spring—it really wants you to slow down and be smothered in cozy blankets, sipping tea while reading. If you’re going through a winter in your life, t
Things in my therapy cave. Many of these things you might never see, but they are always with me when I sit with you. They are from teachers, friends, and family, or represent those I love and care about. They are what make my space, my therapy space
I’m super excited about the new therapy group I’m launching! It’s called Tapestry, and it’s an online therapy group for folks in tech who identify as women, non-binary, and non-cis-men (for folks in California only) This grou
