FEMA has declared Individual Assistance (IA) for Hurricane Helene. What does this mean for you? It means that you can apply for disaster assistance from FEMA to help offset your disaster-related expenses. You can apply online at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ or by telephone at tel: 800-621-3362.
Otherwise, you can download the FEMA weather app from Google PlayStore or the Apple Store and you can apply for assistance on the app and upload receipts. Whichever method you choose, the form has a few questions that are tricky. To avoid delay, please follow the following tips:
1. One of the questions that FEMA will ask when you register is “Do You Have Emergency Needs”? This means during your evacuation or since staying at home during the disaster, do you need help with Gas, Medication, Food (meals, water, had no power and everything spoils), Shelter (you are staying with friends, family or in a hotel); Clothing; or Durable Medical Equipment (oxygen, walkers, cane, glasses, all major equipment, etc). If this is true, say “YES” to this question. That will result in your receiving Displacement / Critical Needs Assistance, which is $750.
2. When asked if your home is/was accessible, answer "NO" if there was debris, tree branches, continued flooding, loss of power, damage or destruction that prevented you from staying there after Helene. This question is asking whether you can stay at your home or apartment and will trigger the ability for you to receive assistance to pay for hotels or provide funding to use while you stay with family or friends.
3. When asked if utilities are out, say "YES" even if your utilities were out for a few days. This triggers assistance $ to stay somewhere other than your home or to buy fuel to power a generator.
4. When asked “Are you willing to relocate” say "YES" if you cannot live in your home due to damage, loss of power, etc. This question means you are willing to stay in a hotel or apartment temporarily, and triggers that funding for you. It is not asking if you are willing to move away from your home permanently.
5. If you bought or buy a generator, FEMA will reimburse you up to $629, but you must submit the receipt. If you bought a chainsaw, FEMA will reimburse you up to $219. Again, you need to provide the receipt. Save your receipts.

I am a Mental Health Therapist for over 10 years, a mom of two, a mental health fitness coach and a human. I like to work with clients that want to change, that want results.
There are many therapist, coaches, healers out there so find someone who is a good fit for you. I am good fit for you if you like someone who is direct but caring; that tends to swear during sessions. I am originally from Chicago but now live in the mountains of WNC. I only make suggestions and use techniques that I know work because I have tried them myself and/or have evidence to back them up. I want to provide tangible tools, actions, next steps for my clients.
I use a variety of evidence-based techniques including EMDR and other somatic therapies to support my clients. But my speciality is EMDR.
• Therapist and Mental Fitness Coach, who seeks to combine the best of therapy, coaching and self-help.
• An approach to therapy, coaching and courses that focuses on addressing root causes of issues, beyond merely treating their symptoms.
• Involves exploring a client's feelings and identifying tools for creating positive change.
• Advocating for a holistic approach to mental health that incorporates healthy food, good sleep & positive social networks.
• Seeks to empower clients by helping them understand their uniqueness and what makes them feel fulfilled.
• Making changes to her own practice in order to have an impact on the world.
Please contact me with questions or to make an appointment.

Insurance can only be used for traditonal behavioral health services. Coaching services are NOT COVERED by insurance providers.
My Coaching course will empower you to transform your relationship with food and recognize, validate your emotions instead of avoiding or numbing them.
If you need support but are looking for an option rather than weekly therapy then coaching is the way to go.
If an interactive journal does not fit your needs, I also offer supplemental digital courses that offer real world skills. Digital courses offer greater flexibility versus a weekly or monthly one-on-one coaching session and allows the learner to rewatch as many times as they like. Digital courses can offer the information and validation that you are looking for. (check out my free video on grounding techniques)
She has changed my life entirely. I was nervous to start therapy because of past experiences, but she completely changed my perspective on therapy. I don’t know where I would be mentally if it wasn’t for her helping me. I highly recommend her.
when I first started therapy I was incredibly nervous and unsure about it but after my first session with erin I felt incredibly comfortable and safe. She really changed the way I think about things and I probably wouldn't be where I am if I hadn't gone to her. She's a pretty incredible person and really knows what she's talking about! :)
Erin has been an invaluable support in my life! I feel safe, seen and understood by her. There is an authenticity about her that I’ve never experienced with any other therapist. She keeps is real and gets to the heart of the matter while still being gentle with my emotional self. I have never had a therapist tell me from the get go that if I don’t feel safe or seen with her, then she wouldn’t be offended at all if I discontinued meeting. She explained that her goal was for me to have the peace that I sought whether it was with her or another therapist. I knew right then how much she cared! I tend to feel awkward around people (which we are working through) and yet from the first deep breath with Erin, I feel completely at ease. She seems to know exactly when to ask a question and when silence is needed to allow me to find my words. Some days I feel like sitting and other days, I wanna lie down. Some days I have a fidget with me and other days, I fidget with items in her room. I feel totally accepted to be myself in all of the ways that I am with Erin.
In preparation for your first session, please bring a copy of your insurance card with you and please call and confirm that behavioral mental health is covered by your insurance. Not all insurance companies cover mental health and it's up to the client to double check.
