About me

My name is Erica (she/her) and I have always loved the idea of therapy and getting to be an individual who has the privilege of hearing and helping someone in a vulnerable position. Seeking out therapy can be one of the biggest challenges we face due to this vulnerability. Especially when we are trying to find someone we “click” with. Our goal will be to build our therapeutic relationship to the best of our abilities in order to facilitate the kinds of changes you want to see in your life. We can make it happen, with the right connection and the right amount of energy and effort put in, you totally and completely have the ability. You’ve already stepped at least once in the right direction by ending up here!

My approach is based in cognitive and behavioral processes with the person-centered atmosphere. You direct where you want us to go and I happily listen, assist, interpret, and suggest. I really enjoy looking at our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as parts of us that run the here and now; our automatic responses, the not-so-automatic responses, the sudden overwhelm of a feeling we can’t identify, the actions we take that we cannot break the habit of. I also love identifying what is actually working for us in a healthy way and giving ourselves a pat on the back for it!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have over 6 years of experience working with individuals as well as group therapy. I have experience working for non-profit agencies who bring in people from all walks of life with issues ranging from daily stressors to chronic disorders. I have worked with many individuals with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, schizophrenia, as well as substance use issues.

My goal for you is to be functioning at your best capacity, whatever that means for you. We can figure it out together! We can explore your current lifestyle and stressors and see how we can adjust. We can also go back and discuss the past and how it may have affected you. Overall, we will set the most realistic goals we can and determine the best ways to get there. I can’t wait to help support you on your journey!

Erica does an amazing job understanding and addressing my thoughts and concerns. I’ve grown so much since working with her.

Written on Oct 08, 2023 after therapy with Erica for 2 years and 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem

I look forward to talking to Erica each week on how to attack the curve balls that life throws at us. Erica helps me process my feelings and prevents me from reacting in ways that go against my values. I am also able to better understand the ways I was parented and I an on a daily journey to re-parent myself away from shame and guilt tactics. Thank you Erica!

Erica is an incredible therapist, she listens so well and brings to light connections that I couldn’t see for myself. She’s open to challenge me when I need it as well as congratulate me when I do the work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!! 100/10!

Erica listens to my concerns and offers a variety of ways to help me see more clear for whatever I’m going through. She provides options for me to try, and we brainstorm together ideas and examples of things for me to do when I’m not feeling my best. I value her expertise and time. I feel so refreshed after we speak in a non judgement zone. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who might be considering therapy.
