In my years in practice the ideal client is always the one willing to effect changes in their present situation. Often times I see clients who have gone to other practitioner, but are yet to find the right fit and level of understanding they need. In my practice I take the approach of collaborating and starting "where the client is" in an effort to adequately help and not merely make the client feel better.

Hi there, I'm Erike! I see therapy as a process of empowering individuals to become more fully human, focusing on authenticity, freedom, and self-discovery. Therapy is not a process of fixing or mending, but rather a path, a dedication, and a search. In our work together, we will emphasize the importance of fostering, encouraging, and supporting your journey of self-discovery and growth. We view therapy as an exploration of the infinite and the human capacity for both profound joy and pain. The goal is not just to alleviate symptoms, but to facilitate a process of individuation, becoming more true to your real self.

From the outside, things look fine. On the inside, it’s a different story. You might be used to pushing through stress, overthinking everything, and/or holding yourself to a standard that’s hard to maintain. Maybe you’re showing up, getting things done, and doing what’s expected, but it comes with anxiety, self-doubt, a constant feeling that you’re falling short. At some point, it stops feeling sustainable.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
