I'm passionate about creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, overcome challenges, and reach your personal goals. Together, we'll work on building resilience, enhancing your strengths, and fostering positive change in your life.

I like my therapist because she lets me speak freely and without any judgement or without doing most the talking, or talking over me. She lets me decide what I’d like to talk about specifically each session which is nice because if something popped up that I want to address I feel like I can without delay. When she does add input and expertise it is timely, sincere, and valuable. I actually look forward to my sessions and feel the co-pay vs help received is well worth it. Also, her skillset with EMDR is very helpful in the healing process and journey for anyone willing to go all in and utilize it to its fullest potential.

I identify as an EMDR Trauma & Stress therapist who provides compassionate therapy with cultural humility to build therapeutic alliances with adults experiencing PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, life transitions, and grief. Erica provides therapy with an integrative approach using EMDR to help you heal from stress and trauma experiences.

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.
