Meet Erica

I offer therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, uncertainty, or a sense of disconnection. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t explain, repeating the same emotional responses or feeling trapped in unsatisfying relationships. I believe symptoms are meaningful—anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional paralysis are not just problems to manage but expressions of something deeper. Together, we create space for these patterns to be understood and worked through.
