Erin established a private practice in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2010 and founded Chattanooga’s first equine-assisted psycho-therapy program with Georgiana Pollock at Rock Bluff Stables on Lookout Mountain.  She quickly became known as one of Chattanooga’s top therapists specializing in EMDR for treating trauma and sexual abuse, as well as eating disorders. Currently, she focuses on working with high-achieving individuals such as business owners, executives, athletes, couples, families, and those suffering loss. She established Evergreen Therapy to support and develop other mental health professionals and to provide experiential therapies such as equine psychotherapy, yoga therapy, play therapy and more, all offered at Evergreen today. Further, she saw a need to help psychology students transition after graduation to the workforce and has committed to providing a place where graduate interns can complete degree requirements and where post graduates can pursue licensure under Evergreen’s supervision.

Her vast expertise in psychology has been featured in Forbes Health, Men’s Health, New York Post, and more. Erin completed her graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Richmond Graduate University; today she holds a multitude of licenses and certifications including LMFT, LPC-MHSP, NCC, AAMFT Approved Supervisor, HOFSTEDE International, and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy. 

On a personal note:

Erin was born into a military family. She grew up relocating around the United States, always finding joy when riding horses and spending time in nature wherever her family lived. After her family settled in North Carolina, she focused on competing in horse jumping and initially pursued riding as an undergraduate at Sweet Briar College in Virginia before switching to the study of psychology at Covenant College in Chattanooga.

Aside from private practice and working on her farm, Erin also enjoys traveling, coaching and training horses and riders, riding competitively, engaging in the Chattanooga community by participating in support of several non-profit organizations and regularly enjoying the beautiful nature trails.
