(she/her)
Hi, I’m Erica, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida, and I’ve always felt deeply connected to understanding people and the stories that shape them. My passion is creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood as you work through life’s challenges. I believe therapy is a place to make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and build confidence in your ability to grow and heal. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I focus on helping you explore your life at your own pace, while also supporting you in finding meaning and building resilience. Being a therapist, to me, means walking beside you—not leading, not pushing—just offering steady support as you move toward the life you want.
During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy, your background, and what you’d like to work toward. I’ll also explain how I practice, including confidentiality, safety, and what you can expect from me in our work together. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, heard, and at ease. This first meeting is really about understanding your story and setting the tone for a partnership where you feel safe, empowered, and supported.
My work is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and genuine connection. I listen closely, validate your experiences, and create a space where you can show up just as you are. I believe healing happens when you feel understood and respected, and I strive to build a relationship where you feel both supported and encouraged to grow.
With nearly a decade of experience in the healthcare field, I specialize in supporting individuals facing complex medical conditions, new diagnoses, or major health-related changes. I help clients process the emotional impact, build coping strategies, and find a sense of stability during uncertain times. I also enjoy working with healthcare workers and first responders as they navigate stress, burnout, career transitions, and the emotional weight of caring for others. My goal is to help you find balance, reconnect with yourself, and feel empowered as you care for both your life and your well-being. Finally, I am also skilled in assisting individuals dealing with mood disorders, life adjustments, or general stress. My goal is to help you adapt realistic coping skills to navigate life's ups and downs.
