One year ago, I walked into my first session with Erika unsure of what to expect but hoping for change. I was struggling with confidence issues and feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. Today, I can honestly say that with Erika's support, I am a completely different person.
From the very beginning, Erika created a safe, understanding space where I felt heard and validated. She helped me identify and address the root causes of my struggles while providing practical tools and strategies to build my confidence and calm my mind. Her approach is thoughtful, empathetic, and tailored to my unique needs, which made a world of difference.
The progress I've made in just one year is beyond anything I could have imagined. I am more confident in myself and my abilities, and I approach life with a sense of calm that was previously missing. Whether it's navigating stressful situations, making decisions, or handling difficult emotions, I now feel equipped to handle challenges with resilience.
Erika has truly helped me transform not just my mindset, but my entire way of approaching life. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and expertise, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to make meaningful changes in their life

I’ve watched myself grow through some extremely difficult phases in my life in large part because of the welcoming, non judgmental approach Erika uses in her practice. I haven’t had a panic attack in what feels like ages - and even at baseline I don’t feel the burden of anxiety like I used to. I have stronger boundaries with others and a deeper relationship with myself these days. 10/10

Erika was a lifeline for me. She helped me through a really difficult year and I learned to see my behaviors and thoughts for what they were, why I had them, and how to stop trying to control others and only control MY thoughts, feelings, and actions. She gave me tools, perspective, guidance, and more than a lot of tough love :) I'll continue to reach out to Erika when I need a reset or have other things come up in my life.
