My specialty is in treating trauma in adults and children.
Finding a therapist is like dating, not everyone who takes you out to dinner will be “the one”. The number one factor that assist people in reaching their full potential in therapy, is the relationship between the Client and therapist. Ericka has a reputation of quickly establishing trust and rapport with Clients, and individuals from all walks of life. Expect a caring and energetic creative therapist, who utilizes science and humor to help you, help yourself! My ideal Clients are children, adolescents and adults ages 4-50 who may be full of energy, creativity, loudness, craziness, sadness, and even madness.

It is through reflection that we gain an understanding of where we stand and what we believe. Perhaps it is finally time for you to take care of you. Therapy offers a special and dedicated time for you to explore and discover who you really are, while giving attention to the parts of you that are hurting, as well as to parts of you that aren't fully alive. But therapy is not just for the challenging moments; it's also designed for when your life may be perfectly fine. My goal is to help you feel most settled within yourself, to develop very fulfilling and satisfying relationships, and to create purpose and meaning in your life.

If you are frequently feeling trapped and are so sick of the race you are not alone. If you have never been to therapy...Welcome! If you have been to therapy many times or have even been in therapy for years and you have all the “understanding” of what is wrong, but aren’t getting better, you also are not alone. Guess what? There is more to counseling than just re-telling your most painful memories. In fact, research is showing us that doing this is actually harmful and re-traumatizes people. You see, when you talk about trauma, your body has a physiological response, it actually can think it is back in that situation.

The chaos of this experience often creates deep emotional wounds. My clients usually show signs of prolonged traumatic stress including high anxiety, fear, numbness, health issues, dissociation, or hypervigilance. Research shows that chronic betrayal or deceit in a trusting relationship can create profound emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical or sexual harm.

I love working with adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and families.
You don’t find your authentic self- you uncover it. Let me help you discover who you are and whatever roadblocks are stopping you. We will explore depression, anxiety, fear, or unhealthy patterns in your relationships. Together we can help you live a life where joy is not something you long for but can feel every single day. Through my own journey in therapy I learned that change is not only possible, but it is real and lasting. Although our lives can become heavy and seemingly unbearable, there is hope. All is not lost. Suffering is not inevitable.
