I practice integrative psychotherapy with a warm, engaged and non-judgmental stance. My approach integrates elements of evidence-based therapies including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Psychodynamic and Narrative Therapy.
With trust and respect, we will work together to understand the meaning of the experiences that are causing you frustration and pain. I will help you explore places in your life where you feel stuck- recurrent patterns, limiting beliefs, painful choices - to understand why they no longer work for you and to help you to make positive changes.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#90728) practicing in the Hayes Valley area of San Francisco, California. I received my Master's in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute for Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco where my training focused on integrative psychotherapy - combining spiritual inquiry with psychological healing and growth.
I provide face-to-face and remote video-based therapy to individuals, couples and families. I specialize in helping clients suffering from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor body image or clients struggling with relationship or intimacy issues.
I particularly enjoy working with young women in their late teens, 20s, 30s, that need support adjusting to stressful life transitions - new school, jobs, relationships, recent relocations - and have had extensive experience working with teens, young adults and their families.Before starting therapy and embarking on the path of inquiry, it's very important that you find a therapist who is a good fit for you.

My fee is $160/session for individuals and $180/session for couples and families. I do not believe that finances should be what limit someone from seeking support through therapy; therefore I do often accept clients on a sliding scale basis, and encourage you to contact me about whether or not might be possible.

I had the wonderful privilege of working alongside Erin for two years. She displays incredible integrity, insight, and natural talent as a therapist. I was consistently inspired to improve my own practice and learned a lot through our conversations. I consider Erin to be one of the best clinicians in the field and happily refer clients to her regularly.

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."

Erin changed my life.
I had been suffering from depression for 2-3 years and stubbornly / pridefully thought that I had already been to therapists before, they might say some nice things, but I am too far gone this time. Normally, I'm able to self-reflect and 'work my way' out of certain moods or slumps, but when I finally realized that my husband and I were staying in San Francisco for good (in the place that was very much at the root of a lot of fears, insecurities
