About Erin

What To anticipate

I bring a fresh perspective by integrating creative techniques into behavioral interventions to elicit change. I believe the real benefit of therapy is not the 45 minutes spent in session. It is what you do from the time you leave the office, until you return, that makes the difference. I am action oriented and will provide you with a variety of tools and techniques to apply into your everyday life. Each time you come back, I will ask you for an update. Your feedback is vital in helping me to identify barriers towards your progress, competing factors, and of course, your personal style in approaches. It helps me to find that fine balance between challenging you to grow without overwhelming you. I tend to be rather direct and say what you may need to hear, vs. what you want to hear. Friends usually have that part covered.

my professional journey

I earned my undergraduate degree from the College of New Rochelle and completed my MSW at Fordham University. I have been a licensed social worker since 1994 in New York, 2004 in Massachusetts, and I am currently an active licensee in Florida since 2005. Additionally, I obtained my Behavior Analysis Certification through the Florida Institute of Technology in 2010, with prior certification as a BCaBA in 2007. My dedication to continuous improvement led me to become Adoption Competency Trained through the Department of Children and Families.

In my pursuit of excellence, I completed Gottman Level I & II training (couples-focused therapy) and EMDR Level I & II training (trauma-focused therapy). I am committed to staying informed and equipped with the latest skills to benefit my clients.

the person behind the professional

Beyond my professional endeavors, here are a few glimpses into my diverse life—I've trained service/therapy dogs, indulged in Equestrian jumping, bought my first motorcycle in my late 40’s, engaged in missionary work in Jamaica, and collaborated with the Miami Dade Fire Department in the Clinicians Awareness Program. These experiences contribute to the unique perspective I bring to our therapeutic partnership.

Choosing a therapist is a significant step, especially if it's your first time seeking support. I specialize in working with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, infidelity, mood disorders, trauma, and first responders. As an adoptive parent, I have a unique understanding of the pressures faced by foster/adoptive families. Let's connect and explore how we can work together on your journey toward positive change and emotional well-being. Your path to healing starts with a conversation, and I'm here to walk alongside you.
