Hi there, I'm Erika. How are your mind, body, and spirit today? What makes you feel alive today? I work with individuals and couples that struggle with LGBT issues, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, family issues, life issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love and sexuality. I am an LGBTQ2S+ affirming therapist and support transgender and gender-questioning clients. I have been licensed since 2019 and I have worked in the field since 2012. Therapy can be a deep, powerful and collaborative experience with professional guidance. My therapeutic style is based on respect, safety and connection, empathy and curiosity. I believe we each have a collection of stories that make us different. I want to honor your journey and help you work through tough feelings and fears.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to feel valued and safe in the therapeutic relationship. Clients may begin to feel uncomfortable as they explore and share aspects of themselves. This is all part of the process. Clients can also expect to feel encouraged to commit to the process of therapy but also know life happens and scheduling conflicts might occur. Clients should not expect to feel perfect in therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Emotionally Focused Therapy, Strength Based, Spiritual Exploration
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
