“The wounded become the healers. Your pain will not be wasted. Trust it. Be brave enough to be still in it and you’ll learn that your pain will NOT consume you. It will become the fire you burn to light and warm the world.”

Hi, I’m Erin, director of Alive Holistic Counseling and licensed professional counselor for more than 20 years. I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, school systems and solo private practice, as well as holding positions as an adjunct professor and supervisor to associates working towards licensure. After spending almost half of my life as a helper in these spaces, my experiences have shaped my approach to counseling as a collaborator and creative sidekick in your healing journey.  

I use the pronouns she/her and as a white, cis, able bodied, financially secure woman, I aim to remain aware and accountable to the privilege and power I hold.  I seek to engage wholeheartedly in ways to move the needle towards liberation and radical self-love, both professionally and personally.  This has not always been possible, as I grew up in a conservative, fundamentally Christian household and community at large in the deep south.  Blessed Be The Tie That Binds was a background track of my childhood.  However, questioning the status quo or stepping out of line with new understandings led to a great unraveling of those blessed ties.  On the other side of grief and estrangement, I found my greatest connection to my values around social justice, specifically for those marginalized by race, sexual identity and gender constructs.  

My hope in leading this group is to create an environment that collectively works together towards emancipation from the systemic ills of the world, one in which we can all be our whole selves out loud.  To engage in our Alive community, whether that be as client, staff or community colleague is to be part of an ongoing conversation about our relationship.  I want to hear about your origin story and how you have traveled to where you are now and to understand how the cause and effect of living in our world has been for you.  I believe that we must start from within, and our clients and our spirits will be invited to join in the brave exploration of who you are meant to be.
