Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Erika!

I provide a safe and compassionate environment in which you can create and achieve "feeling" goals. I am well-practiced in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, and substance abuse.

My approach

My approach is eclectic and tailored toward your needs as an individual. I draw from various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based approaches, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered therapy, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused techniques. I aim to provide culturally sensitive, compassionate care grounded in a humanistic and strength-based perspective.

My focus

I work with individuals struggling with addiction, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, impulsivity, mood disorders, self-esteem, stress, substance use, and women's issues. Whether you need help navigating a life change or difficult relationship, I'm here to support you.

My communication style

I strive to create an environment of open, non-judgmental communication. My style focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, validated, and empowered to make positive changes. I will meet you where you are with empathy and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University, which ignited my passion for helping others heal and grow. Through training and experience, I developed a deep commitment to providing evidence-based, person-centered care to help clients create meaningful change.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the insights, coping skills, and strategies to better understand yourself, surmount challenges, and cultivate a more fulfilling life that aligns with your values. I aim to help you develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience to navigate life's ups and downs with more ease.

My first session with you

In our first session, I want to gain an understanding of what brings you to therapy and collaboratively identify your goals. I will gather some background information and together we will begin to formulate a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. You can expect me to be attentive, engaged, and focused on fostering a supportive therapeutic alliance from the very start.
