You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Life can be complex. Whether you're an adolescent finding your way, an adult facing a difficult transition, or a family seeking harmony, therapy can provide the support and tools you need. I'm here to help you build resilience, foster understanding, and thrive in your everyday life.

Meet Erika

I believe in the power of a person-centered approach, ensuring therapy is a collaborative, supportive, and adaptive process. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

I work with adults, families, and adolescents to navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. By fostering an environment of growth, we can work together to help you not only face your current challenges but also build a strong foundation for the future.

Areas of Focus

I have experience helping clients navigate a wide variety of challenges. My practice is a safe space for everyone.

Anxiety & OCD

Developing strategies to manage worry, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns to reclaim your peace of mind.

Depression

Working through feelings of sadness, low motivation, and hopelessness to find light and meaning again.

ADHD & Neurodivergence

Building skills and embracing strengths related to ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodiversity.

Adolescent & Teen Therapy

Supporting teens through academic stress, social pressures, identity formation, and family conflict.

Life Transitions

Navigating major life changes such as college, career shifts, new relationships, or loss with confidence.

My toolbox includes:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) · Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) · Attachment-Based Methods · Play & Art Therapy · Psychodynamic Therapy · Mindfulness Techniques
