Hello! My name is Erika and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I can imagine that deciding on who to trust with your story can be overwhelming but I want to explain a bit about what my intentions are as your therapist. Ultimately, I truly believe that our perceptions can either help us or hinder our day to day lives. What we think/believe can negatively impact our feelings and our actions or even keep us in situations or relationships that are not healthy for us. Whether it’s increasing your self-awareness, creating balance, or improving your ability to cope, I will guide you through that process. Seeking help for your self-improvement is already a great first step! Opening up to a stranger is very scary and I prioritize creating a safe space for you. I plan to meet you where you are and guide you along the way to hopefully get you to where you aspire to be! My priority is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
First sessions are primarily to gather information and see if my style and approach are a good fit for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have been a clinical social worker for approximately 13 years. I have provided individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy and field-based crisis response work. I provide services in both English and Spanish and my passion has been to provide services to low-income communities where mental health is stigmatized and culturally shamed. My biggest strength is adapting my skills to the person I am helping. Also, I make sure to consistently work on myself so that I can be an effective therapist. I make sure to practice what I preach!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Female adults, Spanish or English speaking, who are committed to engaging in treatment and are ready to implement the new skills.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have 13+ years of experience in using CBT, I am certified in implementing the practice as well as teaching it. I have implemented CBT in an individual and group setting.

I just want to express my deep appreciation for the incredible support and guidance you've provided during our sessions. Your ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space has made it so much easier for me to open up and truly reflect on my thoughts and emotions.
