Hello, My name is Erica and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. As a dedicated and empathetic mental health professional with over three years of experience, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate their emotional and psychological challenges. My journey into therapy began with a profound personal interest in understanding human behavior and a desire to support others in their pursuit of mental well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My goal is to provide a safe and empathetic space that makes you feel comfortable, as it could be quite challenging diving deep into your feelings and emotions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My strengths lie in my ability to build strong therapeutic alliances by using an integrative and compassionate approach. I am skilled at helping clients set realistic goals and empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and I am dedicated to supporting you in this journey towards healing.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a popular and effective approach for managing various mental health issues. Many people find that it helps them identify and challenge negative thought patterns, leading to healthier behaviors and improved emotional well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is particularly effective for individuals dealing with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and relationship issues. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, emphasizing the balance between acceptance and change.
Strength-Based
Strengths-based therapy focuses on identifying and leveraging an individual's strengths and resources to foster growth and healing. This approach is often empowering, as it encourages clients to recognize their capabilities rather than just addressing problems.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy is designed to help individuals process and cope with the emotional pain of loss, whether it's due to the death of a loved one, a breakup, or any significant life change. People often find grief therapy to be a valuable resource for understanding their feelings, finding support, and moving toward healing.
