a little bit about Erinn
I’m a Washington native, animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, and someone who feels most at home in nature and in meaningful relationships. I’m also late-diagnosed neurodivergent, which has shaped the way I understand authenticity, belonging, and finding my own way of moving through the world.
Therapy is meaningful work to me, but it is only one part of who I am. I love swimming in the Salish Sea—sometimes in a mermaid tail—walking with my dog, reading and listening to audiobooks, traveling, and gathering with friends and family around good food, meaningful conversation, and full-belly laughter, preferably around a crackling fire during the colder months.
I find meaning in intentionally slowing down and paying attention to the rhythms of the natural world. Earth- and cycle-based spiritual practices are an important part of my life, and ritual offers me a way to mark the seasons, honor transitions, and feel grounded in something larger than myself. In a world that can feel increasingly hurried and disconnected, I value practices that bring me back into relationship—with myself, with others, and with the more-than-human world.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Spiritual Studies and my Master of Arts in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University Seattle. I have experience working with individuals and couples in outpatient settings and have completed Gottman Method Level 1 training. I am committed to ongoing learning and continuing education as I deepen my skills and grow as a clinician.
a little bit about A Place by the Fire
Since time immemorial, people have gathered around fires—for warmth and nourishment, story and music, ritual, remembrance, celebration, and community. This ancient and ancestral practice connects us to the natural world and to one another. The fire is a thread between past and present, reminding us that we belong to something larger than ourselves.
A Place by the Fire is rooted in the belief that we all need a place to belong—to be fully ourselves while remaining connected to others and the world around us. Around a fire, each person has their own place while also being part of the gathering. There is room for warmth, connection, and aliveness alongside grief and loss. Therapy can be a place to tend what hurts, nurture the embers of what is still alive, and be with what cannot be changed without having to be there alone.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video, whichever you prefer. We can talk a little about what brings you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and any questions you have about working with me. It’s also a chance for us to get a feel for whether my approach and what you’re looking for fit well together.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care if you do not have insurance or are not using insurance to pay for your services.
Because psychotherapy is often ongoing and the length of treatment cannot always be predicted in advance, your Good Faith Estimate will provide an estimate of the cost of anticipated services over a 12-month period. If we continue working together beyond that period, an updated estimate will be provided.
Your Good Faith Estimate is an estimate, not a contract, and does not require you to receive a specific number of sessions. It may also not include costs outside of your regularly scheduled therapy sessions, such as late-cancellation or missed-appointment fees, additional sessions you request, or other services or financial arrangements that arise during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you may have the right to dispute the charge.
For more information about your rights under the No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimates, visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' No Surprises resources or call 1-800-985-3059.

A Place by the Fire acknowledges that my practice in Edmonds is located on the traditional lands of the Sdohobsh (Snohomish) people and their successors, the Tulalip Tribes, who have cared for and maintained relationships with these lands and waters since time immemorial.
I offer gratitude and respect to the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this place across generations and who continue to live, gather, practice their cultures, and care for these lands and waters today.
I am grateful for what I continue to learn from Indigenous perspectives that recognize our relationship and responsibility to the land, waters, and the many beings with whom we share them. These teachings invite me to consider what it means to live in relationship with a place—not simply to inhabit it, but to tend to it and recognize that we are part of something larger than ourselves.
I recognize that acknowledgment alone is not enough, and I remain committed to continued learning, respect, and responsible relationship with the place where I live and practice.
