I've just started working with Erica but so far she's been great and I can't wait to continue and see where this all goes. So far I've already felt a great relief from being able to talk with her.

She is very sympathetic and in tune to my emotional needs. She would check up on me when she hadn’t heard from me. I appreciate her insight.

Erica has been so incredible. I have always avoided therapy, or have stopped seeing my therapists after a short amount of time. Erica is extremely patient, understanding, and encouraging. She has changed my life for the better.

Erica has been the perfect balance for me as a counselor - she offers empathy, respect, asks and prods when appropriate, offers perspective and says the things i dont want to hear. She has been the right fit for me, and has been incredibly helpful in my healing.

Written by J.A. on Sep 28, 2020 after therapy with Erica for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating disorders, and self esteem

Erica has been extremely helpful working with me on anxiety, self-esteem, disordered eating, and family issues over the past couple weeks. She is a very patient listener, offers thoughtful advice, and engages with me through chat, video meetings, and worksheets with feedback. She response promptly and often too. I feel like each time we talk, she equips me with new practical tools I can immediately start using to improve my self-efficacy responding to anxiety. I feel more empowered and hopeful about managing my anxiety. I really like how she gives advice and strategies that can apply to a wide variety of situations, so it does not get too complicated or tedious to practice what we discuss. I highly recommend Erica!
