She made me feel comfortable to talk to her the very first day. She continued to listen to me until she understood what my problem was and gave me tools to help with my overthinking and keeping my mind on MY GOAL. Very grateful for her.

I appreciate Ericka’s insight and professionalism with helping me cope with my areas of concern. She’s provided tools for me to cope with my anxiety, reevaluate my self talk, and follows up to ensure my success. I would recommend her to others looking for help in the areas she specializes in.
