I’ve been working with Erica for several months, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She creates a warm and non-judgmental space that makes it easy to open up and explore personal challenges. Erica is insightful, attentive, and provides practical tools that have truly helped me in my journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I feel supported, understood, and empowered after each session. If you’re looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist, Erica is an excellent choice.

Down to Earth. She's as much a philosopher as she is a therapist and relates to you through her own struggles and approaches in life. The real deal.
