About Erica
(she/her)
I approach each therapeutic relationship with intention and flexibility, recognizing that your needs can shift from session to session. My goal is to help you build practical coping skills, strengthen what’s already working within you, and create meaningful behavioral changes that align with your values and the life you want to live.

A Safe, Collaborative Space
I create a space that feels welcoming and free of judgment where you can be fully yourself. Therapy with me is collaborative and active. We’ll process what you’re going through, build practical skills you can use outside of sessions, and celebrate the progress and wins you make along the way.
Inclusive Support for Every Client
I’m committed to creating an affirming, supportive space for all clients, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and those from diverse backgrounds. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Together, we can access your inner strengths and improve your overall quality of life.
Health Psychology:
Where Mental & Physical Health Meet
Your health is complex, and your care should reflect that. Together, we’ll build a holistic treatment plan that fits your whole life - mentally and physically. I use a step-by-step, health psychology approach and collaborate with other providers when needed, so your care feels connected, not fragmented. I also help you better understand and navigate the healthcare system, so you can feel more confident in your decisions.
