Get to Know Eryn

Both male and female clientele seek Eryn out to work individually on depression or anxiety resulting from family stress, career stress, and relationship burdens.

“I am always thrilled when someone starts taking the fact they are having a hard time seriously. I think there is a pervasive culture of white knuckling life or just dismissing ourselves as “bad at existing”. This mentality is my personal enemy. I love sitting with folks, taking a look at the stories they tell themselves and the stories they have been told about themselves in order to appreciate exactly what is going wrong, and how we can make it right.”

A portion of her practice is dedicated to parent advising where she is especially known for working with parents of young children.

“They say parents in the United States today are fifty percent more depressed than their same-age childless peers. I find this to be profoundly true, and I feel the reason for it is the impossible task of “parenting correctly” today. For the conscientious parent, the job of parenting has become a bloated, untenable, and often miserable slog. I am so passionate about sitting with parents, and charting a new path. My dream for parents is to feel confident and free, and to have the bandwidth to be delighted by the people they are raising.”

Eryn has many years of experience supporting and mentoring teens and college students both in community and academic settings. Eryn now specializes in working with teenagers and young adults, and the stressors, transitions, and coping strategies specific to this age group.

“The 15-25 age group has my heart. I just feel so deeply for these people and what they are trying to do. Professionally I find almost nothing more satisfying than helping a young client cross the bridge from the uncomfortable co-dependence of childhood to the confident independence of adulthood.

Eryn has an additional focus area in working with neurodivergent individuals and neurodiverse families. This focus stems from her own experience of family life.

“Learning how to problem solve and grow in light of neurodiversity with the people I love most on this earth just moved me to support others with this experience. When you know this experience, your heart moves so strongly for others who know it too. Our family is still very much in the midst of learning and growing, but we are on the other side of so much transformation. I want that kind of transformation for everyone.”
