1

ANXIETY & DEPRESSION

Therapy for anxiety and depression that actually helps you get out of your head and back into your life. You’ll learn simple, effective ways to calm your mind, stop the spiral, and start feeling more like yourself again - day by day, not someday.

2

CHRONIC PAIN & ILLNESS

Support for living with chronic pain or illness that respects what you are going through without sugarcoating it or brushing it off. Together, you will learn how to work with your body, manage flare-ups, and create a life that still feels full and meaningful.

BURNOUT & STRESS MANAGEMENT

For the ones who look like they have it all together but feel completely drained. We will pinpoint what is actually exhausting you and make real-life changes that give you your energy, focus, and sense of control back.

Areas of Support

Welcome, I'm Erica.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I’m here to make that first step a little easier. In this short video, I’ll share what it’s like to work with me and what you can expect throughout the process.

 

(Hint: we’ll shape this process together: no rigid rules.

Your goals, your pace, your growth.)

I provide a safe, inclusive space for individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, racial and cultural backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences. Your story and identity matter here.

My Approach

Therapy here is designed to be clear, focused, and genuinely useful, so that you're actually moving forward instead of talking in circles. The work is collaborative and grounded in real-life application, with an emphasis on clarity, momentum, and meaningful change.

​

This is how I show up in session:

​

  • Direct: Open, honest communication with real-time feedback so you always know where you stand and what we’re working toward.

  • Efficient: A balance of structure and process, giving space to explore while staying focused on what actually creates change.

  • Purposeful: Each session is intentional, centered on your goals, and designed to move you forward in a way that feels clear and doable.

​

You can expect a therapist who respects your time, meets you where you are, and helps you create real, lasting shifts.
