Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session I will go over my therapeutic style and approach. I believe its important to establish a solid therapeutic foundation for and with my clients so they know what to expect.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am a person centered therapist and strive to cultivate an environment in which my clients feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I am energetic, love what I do, and genuinely enjoy the privilege I have of seeing the world through the eyes of each of my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individual adults who are motivated to feel better, do better, and be better. I do not work with couples, families, or minors.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My goal for clients using the CBT model/approach is to help them learn how to retrain their thought patterns by building new neural pathways. Most people utilize a style of thinking called black and white thinking, which means people think in one extreme or the other. But the world is gray and I assist clients with learning how to operate in the gray area.

Erica is nothing less than amazing! She is funny and extremely compassionate. I have been in therapy for years, and I have finally found someone who genuinely cares and listens to what I have to say.

Keeps it lighthearted and seems genuine. Very good at explaining the process so far.
