Hello! My name is Erica and I have over 6 years of therapeutic experience. I specialize in grief counseling, depression and anxiety disorders, LGBTQ+, divorce/separation, stress, and trauma. I have worked with clients of all ages including children, teens, adults, and the elderly. *Currently I am not accepting couples or teens.* My treatment focuses on helping clients to retrain their thought patterns by building new neural pathways. Using various exercises, techniques, and assignments I help my clients learn how to move through stressors faster and smoother so they come out on the other side feeling better. I'm a firm believer education is the most valuable component to therapy and I work hard to educate each of my clients so they always have a "safety net" of information and skills to fall back on. I look forward to working alongside you in your therapeutic journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My areas of strength are grief counseling, depression and anxiety disorders, LGBTQ+, divorce/separation, stress, and trauma.

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.
