Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Erica, a Licensed Psychotherapist, Life Coach, Consultant, and Radio Host with over 15 years of experience.

I find deep meaning in guiding people “back home” to their true selves, often buried beneath outdated programming developed in childhood.

My mission is simple: to help you let go of who and what you are not, so you can become who you truly are.

From here, you are free to consciously create a life worth living with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.

I love working with clients who desire deeper self-understanding and a more loving, accepting relationship with themselves. Many of my clients are high-achieving and self-aware, yet feel internally overwhelmed, misaligned, or disconnected from themselves. Together, with compassion, we look for truth, clarity, and create meaningful change from the inside out.

My specialties include anxiety, chronic stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship/dating issues, ADHD and neurodivergence, complex/relational trauma (CPTSD), codependency, attachment wounding, and working with adult children of emotionally immature / narcissistic / alcoholic parents and enmeshment.

My work is not about fixing who you are. You aren't broken. It's about chipping away what no longer fits, so your true essence can emerge, like a sculpture. It's a transformative and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients in this process.

My approach to therapy

Therapy has the potential for profound growth and change. The foundation? The authentic quality and depth of the client/therapist relationship. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming. I blend evidence-based therapies with holistic approaches like parts work, inner child healing, somatics, and mindfulness. I am collaborative, transparent, and tailor each session to your needs at that moment in time. My hope is that you leave every session feeling heard, understood, and with new insight and tools to support your progress this week.

What you can expect from me

  • Clarity + Insight: A deeper understanding of the beliefs driving your patterns, and a clear sense of what you truly want and need.
  • Practical Tools + Practices: Simple, actionable strategies that you can integrate into your daily life.
  • Deeper Self-Connection: You’ll cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself and learn to trust your inner wisdom.
  • A Safe, Empowering Space: A nonjudgmental, collaborative environment where your voice is heard, your experiences are honored, and your growth is celebrated every step of the way.
