Hi! I'm so glad you're here! My name is Erika and I was born and raised in Florida. I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges individuals face, particularly in dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have worked with both teens and adults, helping them navigate emotional struggles and find strategies for managing their mental health. My experience also extends to supporting women through prenatal and post-partum mental health challenges, offering guidance and care during significant life changes. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, I strive to create a safe space for growth and healing.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a Mental Health Therapist I like to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can truly be yourself. I deeply believe that healing begins when individuals feel accepted, heard, and understood without fear of judgment. In our sessions, I prioritize building trust and offering a space where you can express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns freely, knowing that they won’t be judged or criticized.
I am passionate about working with a diverse range of individuals, particularly young adults, adults, and adolescents, who are navigating life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting clients who have faced anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. Whether it’s managing the pressures of early adulthood, adjusting to new stages in life, or dealing with emotional difficulties, I provide a compassionate and tailored approach to therapy.
As a therapist, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to emotional distress. My approach to CBT is collaborative and individualized, ensuring that all your unique needs and goals are addressed effectively.
This treatment method emphasizes creating a supportive, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe and valued. My goal is to foster an authentic, collaborative relationship with you to help you achieve personal growth, self-acceptance, and a deeper understanding of yourself.
