Sound familiar?

You’re constantly achieving, accomplishing, and appearing to have it together on the outside. However, deep down you feel like you’re not enough, and you can never do enough.

  • The pressure you feel to appear perfect to others blocks you from building the authentic relationships you truly desire.

  • The accolades have left you feeling empty, and you’re tired of feeling unfulfilled.

  • You feel overwhelmed from the never-ending striving and feel like you can’t catch your breath.

  • You’ve mastered many of the external measures of success, but now you want to get curious about your inner world with the same level of drive.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi! I’m Dr. Erin Hopkins, and I’d love to help. I provide individual therapy for high-achieving teens and adults. I work with clients to explore the stories they tell themselves about who they are and how they connect with others, and then help them rewrite the ones that aren’t supporting them. I’ll encourage you to use therapy as a space to practice showing up as your whole self. You can drop the striving and keeping up with appearances with me. Similarly, you’ll get genuine responses from me. Clients say they appreciate my relatability and combination of directness with warmth.

My clients walk away from therapy feeling like they have a better understanding of who they are and realize they’re worthy just as they are. They feel a sense of ease and calm in being themselves and build the true connections they’ve always desired. Instead of seeking validation from accomplishments, they build their lives around what feels meaningful and in alignment with their values. They continue to achieve but from a place that feels more purposeful.
