About Me
Hi, I’m Dr. Erin, looking forward to being a trusted partner in your journey toward a happier life. My approach is rooted in collaboration; I am here to listen to you with compassion, understand your unique experiences, and guide you toward meaningful change. At the same time, I’m here to challenge you – to gently push you beyond your comfort zones where true growth happens.
My professional experience isn’t limited to therapy alone; I have done psychological consulting for the entertainment industry, executive coaching for Fortune 500 company leaders, and family dynamics consulting for multi-generational family offices.
I earned my BA from Pepperdine University and a Master’s from Phillips Graduate Institute, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a specialization in Co-Occurring Disorders. I then earned my Doctorate in Psychology from Argosy University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a focus on Humanistic and Psychoanalytic psychology. In addition to my practice, I provide media consultation to help inform the general public about psychological issues in daily life and the importance of quality mental health care.
Boards & Volunteer Service
I also volunteer free therapy through the Give an Hour organization, whose mission is to provide no-cost counseling to the veteran community. In addition, I serve on two advisory boards:
-
- Rescue 22 Foundation as clinical director, where we provide the highest quality task-trained dogs on behalf of our nation’s veterans.
- Pepperdine University Strong Rope Legacy Program, as an advisor to training next-generation women in family enterprise

Her approach is unlike anything I’ve experienced—never forced, but guiding me toward powerful self-realizations. In the past year, she has helped me grow in ways I never expected, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly makes a difference, I would definitely recommend Dr. Foster.
