Meet Erika
I work best with clients who are ready to try something new! We’ll move at your pace and draw from evidence-based practices so that therapy feels supportive and meaningful. My role isn’t to tell you how to live, but to help you understand yourself, identify what’s getting in the way, and build tools to move toward your goals. I’ll support you, challenge you when needed, and celebrate your progress along the way. I want our time together to feel collaborative, practical, and relevant to your life. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling understood, equipped, and confident in your ability to create meaningful change.
I can help you build the skills you need so that you can live a life worth living.
