When you connect with the right person you know because you feel less alone.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist experienced with children, adolescents, adults and couples. My approach is pragmatic - meaning I focus on doing what works! I'm trained in several types of therapy, so I might combine cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness-based therapies (ACT, DBT) or traditional "talk" therapies to get the best results. I'm active in sessions and will always check in with you to make sure you're getting the most out of therapy. I also enjoy working with kids and families offer parent support and coaching.

I work with clients experiencing life transitions, relationship issues, loss, self-esteem, loneliness, depression and existential anxiety. Our work will involve learning to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with your inner emotions and, instead become more mindful, acceptant and tolerant of your feelings. I can help you commit to taking concrete steps to incorporate changes. As a result you will gain more self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity or authenticity, greater success in establishing interpersonal relationships, and more trust in your own decisions.

I specialize in working with adult individuals, couples and families. No judgments, no pressure, and no negativity.

Attention...what does it take to get our attention? Usually, it's something unfamiliar. I work with individuals who experience a "symptom," a grief, a depression, an anxiety, a life-threatening illness, a crisis in an important relationship; a time when you are asked to pause, to pay attention to your self and bring curiosity to your life. A symptom is an invitation to look at the story of your life and visit where you have felt alone and where you need to come home to yourself in order to make this issue transform and experience more fulfillment.

Born in Bronx New York, I graduated Columbia University in 1989 with an MS in Social Work and became a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist helping individuals and couples thrive.

I’m here to help you gain insight into your experiences, understand what you need, and communicate with others more effectively.

There is no single way to live a fulfilling life. All of us need a safe place to talk about what we're experiencing. Expressing your thoughts and feelings to another person is an essential part of transformation.

My clinical intention is to help clients see and experience themselves in a new way.

I am a doctor of clinical social work, board certified in oncology care, whose goal it is to provide a compassionate space for therapy. In my many years of experience in cancer care in a healthcare setting, my work has afforded me the opportunity to support individuals, families, and loved ones through life threatening and life-limiting illness, trauma, grief, loss, existential distress, and the search for meaning in the face of adversity. In life, there is suffering for us all in different ways and we can perhaps find meaning in the pain, purpose in the loss, and comfort through the journey.

Life is a rollercoaster ride. But no matter where you find yourself on this unpredictable journey of highs and lows remember, you’re not alone.

Hi, I'm Erika - It's nice to meet you! As a clinician I'm passionate about how the past impacts our present lives both physically, mentally, and emotionally. During a session with you, we will work as a team to dig deep, increasing your self-awareness, learning things about yourself you never knew and learning to create healthy relationships with yourself and others to help you on your healing journey. I work with clients on a range of concerns, including coping with anxiety & stress, relationship issues, women's concerns, navigating life with chronic illnesses & pain, invisible disabilities, medical trauma, suicidal ideation, etc.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in self-reflection at some moment in their lives, whether they are transitioning through a phase or struggling with the daily stressors of everyday life that impact well-being. I envision therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which individuals, through guidance and introspection, can reach the best versions of themselves and develop meaningful relationships, self-fulfillment, and mastery over past and present challenges. I hold a multicultural lens with all clients I encounter and recognize the impact of race, ethnicity, and social context.
