In my 25 years of practice, I have learned some important truths: what happened to us doesn’t have to determine what happens for us; under the right conditions, the human spirit orients toward growth and wholeness; therapy can be an important addition to the healing process. People come to therapy for many reasons, often the initial phase of the work is in improving coping strategies so you can feel better sooner. Beyond symptomology, understanding you and your unique context are essential for unearthing longstanding behavior patterns. Therapy is about revising your story and making you the author of the next chapter.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you and your partner experiencing conflict that you can't seem to resolve? I can help you understand the underlying issues and needs that lead to withdrawal or anger, and work with you to re-establish strong bonds. Together we will identify the negative patterns that repeat, learn how to interrupt those and to instead create positive conflict resolution skills. I am passionate about the work I do as a therapist, and I respect each person's struggle and strengths.

My goal is to help you strengthen the relationship with yourself, so you can create the life you want. By becoming the observer of your inner mental world, you can gain insight and understanding of beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that create discomfort in your life. Through the therapeutic process, you can learn coping skills for navigating intense feelings, like anger or anxiety, so they do not control your behavior. You can identify boundaries you might need and rewrite disempowering narratives that lead to anxiety, sadness, or conflict with others.

Most often, I have worked with clients with eating disorders, life transitions, and mood disorders.

I will always plan to meet a client where they are at in recovery. That might include this being your first therapy experience, or your hundredth and we need to find what will work for you to have a sustainable recovery.

In our modern world, many of us recognize the need to take time to slow down and get in tune with ourselves and our relationships.

Within the context of a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, I help clients to identify the steps needed to overcome challenges and promote positive change.

I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental atmosphere to help you feel comfortable opening up about what you have been struggling with. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction issues, dealing with a life transition, and relationship issues. Many of my clients begin counseling because they are not feeling like themselves and want to make a healthy change. Sometimes we don't know exactly what that change is until we begin to build awareness around our needs in therapy.

I believe that everyone deserves to have a sanctioned space where they can prioritize their needs and goals, in order to process past and present experiences. In a society where we may not be taught or allowed to experience a full range of emotions, I want to ensure that my clients will feel affirmed in their feelings, while simultaneously challenging them to analyze their roots. My primary goal is to support clients in healing from the inside out and tailor the therapeutic relationship to each individual's need, while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of community, connection, and collaboration to achieve liberation.

Welcome, I'm Erika! My therapy approach focuses on providing culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, and affirming therapy services to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions or race/ethnic identity exploration.
