Is your gifted, creative, or high-performing child struggling with anxiety, stress or confidence issues? Our younger kids can struggle with behavioral issues because they are overstimulated, bored, or just misunderstood in school. Our older teens may be overwhelmed, stressed, or even have thoughts about self-harm. Our kids have unique stressors related to perfectionism, sensitivity, high pressure, and social relationships. Sometimes these things can make it challenging for them to feel like they belong. Help your child discover a safe space to develop confidence and happiness by contacting me today.
I provide in-person and virtual therapy. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and solution-focused therapy in fun and engaging ways to help gifted and creative kids manage stress, set boundaries, recover from mistakes, and much more! Help your child find happiness, motivation, and confidence by contacting me today.
Featured Client Review: "Erica has been very kind and caring to my daughter. My daughter enjoys going to her sessions and her mindset has improved tremendously!" - Kendra M.

As a former K-12 gifted teacher, I cannot recommend Erica's knowledge and skill of gifted children's issues enough. Her resources and training were key to my success with high school gifted students. Her programs support what talented children need.
