More about Erin
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I received my undergraduate degree from Loyola Marymount University in 1999 and my graduate degree in Social Work, from Boston College in 2002. Initially, I worked as a social worker in Harlem and Queens, New York; providing wraparound services for children and their parents with a history of substance use. Then, I moved back to San Jose, California, where I was raised, and worked for two years in a non-profit agency; providing counseling and case management services to foster youth and their biological and foster families. Since 2005, I have worked as a clinician within the Behavioral Health Department at Santa Clara County; and I was licensed in 2007. I have worked with adults suffering with severe mental illness and/or substance use issues during my 15 years at the County; in various capacities, including through individual therapy, referral, case management services, and crisis intervention. I am most passionate about helping clients that are struggling with trauma, either from the past or in the present time. I especially want to help others as much as possible during this stressful time; in the face of this pandemic; where we all have been confronted with, sometimes, multiple challenges.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
