Erin Moran, Psy.D., Educator

When I see people stand fully in their truth, or when I see someone fall down and say "Damn, that really hurt. But, this is important to me and I'm going in again," my gut reaction is 'What a Badass.' We can have courage, or we can have comfort. But, we cannot have both at the same time. ~ Brené Brown
Meet Erin Moran, Psy.D.
Educator
Hello. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Early Child Development. I have spent 20+ years helping individuals and families find healthier ways to connect to those they love most. As an Educator, I help with parents and their children learn better ways to overcome stressful circumstances. Central to my work is helping my clients develop a better understanding of their own emotional landscape, cultivate a more compassionate and curious approach in their relationships, and generally work towards building a more hopeful and inspired perspective into their daily lives. These wonderfully rich lessons inform us on how to best break free from old, entrenched patterns of existing toward cultivating a more meaningfully connected life.
​
To be clear, I am not a licensed therapist, meaning I do not diagnose or provide treatment for diagnosed mental illnesses. If you are seeking a licensed mental health professional, I am happy to direct you to some local therapists to help.
​
On most days, I bring my sidekick Kahlil. She is an Australian Shepard-Golden Retriever mix who delights in welcoming all who come to the office. She is a pretty empathic pup who looks forward to meeting you and your little ones.


My Background
I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Pacific University in 2009 and now work as an Educator. My approach in working with my clients is rooted in attachment-based theory to cultivate richer and more harmonious connection with family members. As part of this improving parental regulation during times of stress, healthy establishment of expectations and boundaries, and facilitating more joyful relationships among family members.
