Hello! I am Erin, and this blog is about me and my life as a woman, a wife, and a therapist, as well as my desire to share knowledge, research, and advice related to my work as a marriage and family therapist.

To get to know me a little better, I can say that I grew up in the small town of Norwalk, Connecticut and attended Catholic school for most of my life.  (Though I consider myself a bit of a recovering Catholic at the moment.) I was a dancer from the age of 4 and through my years in college at Fordham University and the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. I also taught dance lessons to children and pre-teens to help pay for college. Dancing was my passion and I dreamed of being a star on Broadway.

Today, a few of my passions are my relationship with my husband and my work as a therapist. For me, there is something significant about creating and maintaining a successful, happy, and healthy relationship. I suppose that is not all that unsual as many of us want that. Which is part of the reason I chose to become a marriage and family therapist. Relationships can be complicated and I want to help people to feel empowered (with the skills to back it up) that they can succeed at having the healthy, happy, and successful relationship that they have always wanted, without sacrificing who they truly are as individuals.

I believe that nowhere do we really learn the skills to have a healthy, happy, successfuly, long-term relationship.  I view my job as a therapist as not only as someone who counsels others, but also as someone who teaches and educates.  I also know that wearing so many hats, as most of us do on a daily basis, can be challenging to our personal happiness and relationship happiness. And where do we turn to get support for our challenges, our feelings of being overwhelmed with all that we take on in today’s world? Where do our young adults turn to get the support and guidance they so truly need at this stage of their lives? I am passionate to be one person in the lives of these individuals, couples, and families, both young and old, who can offer support, guidance, and an alternative path to a happier and more fulfulling life.

I will be blogging here to continue offering support and guidance wherever I can. I hope you find this blog valuable and let me know if there are topics you want to read about and I will be happy to respond.
