Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Erica, Founder of In Raw Form Wellness, where I help clients heal from the inside out through authenticity, compassion, and grounded support. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I provide individual, couples, and family therapy throughout Missouri, specializing in trauma, relationship dynamics, and family systems. I also offer holistic wellness services including somatic movement, guided meditation, and emotional wellness coaching to support mind-body healing nationwide. My mission is to help you restore balance in mind, body, and spirit so you can show up fully in your life.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients through a calm, grounded, and relational style that prioritizes safety, authenticity, and emotional honesty. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I take a systemic approach, helping individuals, couples, and families understand the patterns, beliefs, and generational dynamics that shape their relationships and emotional responses. I specialize in trauma recovery, emotional regulation, relationship healing, and navigating life transitions such as divorce, parenthood, and dating after heartbreak. In addition to talk therapy, I integrate mind–body practices such as somatic movement, breathwork, and guided meditation to support nervous system regulation and help clients reconnect with their bodies. My goal is to create a space where clients feel seen without judgment, learn to sit with and process their emotions, and develop practical tools to support long-term healing and holistic transformation.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect their first session with me to feel calm, grounding, and welcoming. I spend time getting to know what brings them in, exploring their goals, concerns, and the patterns that may be impacting their relationships, emotions, or overall well-being. Together, we begin clarifying what healing looks like for them, identify the areas they’d like to strengthen, and set realistic therapeutic goals that can guide our work. I create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are, without pressure, judgment, or the expectation to have everything figured out. By the end of the first session, most clients walk away with a sense of clarity, a deeper understanding of where we’re headed, and hope that their healing journey is both possible and supported.
