Erin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC); a National Certified Counselor (NCC); and a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS). She earned a master’s degree in community counseling from the University of North Georgia and a bachelor’s degree in early childhood and special education from the University of North Georgia.  Erin has dedicated her career to helping children and adolescents overcome hardships, regardless of the severity of the issue. While working in the school system, she helped elementary-aged children meet their academic goals. Later she helped adolescents and their families achieve stability while working as the Assistant Director of Cottage A/Youth Services for both the inpatient and partial programs at Ridgeview Institute. Erin enjoys working with individuals, groups, and families. She has experience working with clients in crisis and with mood disorders including anxiety, depression, and anger. She also enjoys working with families in conflict, clients with behavioral difficulties, and resistant clients.  She uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help children and adolescents learn healthy coping skills. Erin has extensive training in DBT, which can be greatly beneficial for adolescents. The technique can help with issues, including but not limited to suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, anger or explosive emotional outbursts, isolation, anxiety, panic attacks, and disordered eating. DBT can also help adolescents more effectively communicate with their parents, handle difficult situations, and understand and navigate their emotions.  ​ ​Erin believes that behaviors are meaningful rather than random. Often when children act out, they are trying to get a need met or communicate with someone. Understanding the cause of behavior can help bring positive and lasting change. Erin believes that the use of art therapy allows children and adolescents to communicate in a natural manner so that the cause of behavior can be understood. She also feels that using creative expressive therapies can help bring positive change into children’s lives.

Marriage is complex. Most couples reach a point when they desire more intimacy and closeness than they are currently experiencing. Before long, the relationship in which we are meant to feel the safest leaves us feeling frustrated, distant, and insecure. Due to benign neglect or something more nefarious such as unresolved trauma, addiction, or affairs, couples find themselves ill-equipped to face the forces that cause all marriages to drift toward disconnection. As a counselor and pastor and through personal experience, Matt has seen and experienced the loneliness and pain that broken relationships cause. He uses collaborative, structured, and emotionally focused processes to create a plan for increasing connection while identifying and minimizing barriers to intimacy. Every person deserves to have the skills and knowledge to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. You don't have to wait. Therapy can be a way to be understood and understand yourself and your spouse, but the process shouldn't be a mystery. Matt teaches couples how to speak the language of emotion, heal their wounds, and strengthen their bond.
