Erika is great at getting me to open up and is very patient with me. She really seems to take interest in why I am feeling the way I am and genuinely seems to want to help. Exactly what you should look for in a therapist

I love how I feel after every session with Ms. Ericka. I’m at a place in my life where I’m unlocking levels of healing. The thought that this journey is lifelong, worried me at first, but my sessions with Ms. Ericka made me feel more comfortable with realizing that fact.

Ericka is a very kind and personable listener. She hears me and has a gracious way of recommending solutions for me, which I greatly appreciate. She is someone I look forward to speaking with and regularly.
