About me

You have done enough! It is time to "be". I have coined it "Be Me" Time. Being is an allowing of self- nurture. Being is stillness. Being is thinking and feeling the ache, instead of avoiding it. I know it is scary, yet I am your cheerleader, who encourages you to explore your resources to ease the hurt. I will hold your hand when you learn your worth and your whole life is turned upside down. You can have a reality where you are the Superhero that first saves and celebrates yourself. It is time to stop the self-abuse. You deserve a life of lavish beauty and connection as you effortlessly "be" you.

I am an Integrative Therapist and Business Coach in Escape and Execution. We investigate all the components of your life, which include physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and professional life. The goal is to integrate these components, build your social support system, and bring together all partners to hold you accountable to being the best version of yourself.

I use Person Centered therapy as the core of our work. Then, I splash Integrative Therapy (utilization of all therapy types based on the individual) into our work. I am specialized in Trauma-Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person/ Child-Centered Play, and Expressive Arts Therapy. You deserve the best.

She has been one of my favorite therapists. As someone who’s seen multiple in my entire life she’s so far been one of the top two. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy within her areas of operation. 12 out of 10 for sure.

Erica had been a guiding light and inspiration from our first session.
She is helping me to be my truest self, protect my health, establish boundaries, and control my thriving.
She is unconditionally amazing and wonderful in the most literal sense of the word.

She’s very responsive and really listens to what you’re saying. She gives appropriate feedback and is very easy to talk to and very validating.

Erica is always there to listen as well as help me process thoughts that clutter my brain. She always has a way of helping me talk about things I've kept bottled up.

Never met someone as dedicated and concerned as Erica. For my first therapist she is already the best in my book. A true gift.
