I am an EMDR Trauma & Stress and CBT-I therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally humble therapy for adults navigating PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, insomnia, life transitions, and grief.

As someone who experiences CPTSD, working with Erica has given me a renewed outlook on my life circumstances and a deeper understanding of what I’ve experienced. She provides me with stability and structure within our sessions, and helps me frame complex thoughts and interpretations that otherwise leave me exhausted and feeling lost. She has tools and resources that are right on time, and her composure is responsive and gentle, but also assertive and strong when needed. She gives you so many insights that will have you thinking and pondering beyond the session. She cares about the support she provides and checks in regularly and encourages honest feedback. She never makes me feel like I am “too much or intense” or that I have to apologize for how I show up. She accepts me as I am and is present to walk the journey alongside me. I appreciate her intuitive but methodological approach. It took me multiple tries to find the right therapist fit, and I am so glad that I continued looking—because I feel seen, heard and valued in our therapeutic relationship. She is helping to restore my self-belief and self-trust, and moving forward rather than being stuck in the past. I am truly grateful for our partnership.
