Hi, I’m Erica — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with more than 19 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s ups and downs. Over the years, I’ve worked in private practice, schools, nonprofits, and large healthcare systems, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of how stress, transitions, and relationships shape our lives. Many of the people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of a space where they can talk freely and feel truly heard. I specialize in supporting clients who are managing stress—whether it’s showing up in parenting, relationships, work, or major life changes. My approach is supportive and collaborative. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, develop healthier ways to cope, and work toward a greater sense of balance, clarity, and self-understanding.

Get to know me

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

Our first session is about helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and begin to understand your experiences—at your pace, with no pressure to share everything at once. As we continue working together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and develop practical strategies to help you move forward. My approach is client-centered and tailored to your needs, offering tools and insights that support growth, self-awareness, and well-being.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is supporting individuals and families as they navigate stress, relationship challenges, and the demands of everyday life. I offer a compassionate, grounded approach shaped by both professional experience and real-life insight. My work is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping clients move forward with confidence and clarity.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or the weight of life transitions. You might be feeling stuck, struggling to manage stress, or simply in need of someone to listen without judgment.

My treatment methods

Relational

Our sessions will be collaborative, meaning we’ll work together to uncover the roots of your challenges and develop practical strategies to help you move forward. I offer a client-centered approach, tailored to meet your unique needs. I’ll provide tools and insights that can foster self-awareness and personal growth.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I often use a Solution-Focused approach to help clients move toward the changes they want to see in their lives. Rather than spending too much time on what’s gone wrong, we focus on what’s going right — your strengths, resources, and the small steps that can lead to big shifts. This approach helps clients feel empowered, hopeful, and capable of creating meaningful change.

Integrative

In this approach, I combine techniques from various modalities to tailor treatment to each client’s needs.

Just had my first session with Erica. She had great points for how to approach the issues we discussed. She was very solution oriented. I felt like she was very present during our session and listened to what I had to say. I can't wait for our next sessions together!
