I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the state of California. I can only provide therapy to clients that reside in the state of California. I have been working for about 10 years with clients that have a vast range of issues and concerns, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, relationship issues, domestic violence, abuse (physical and emotional), anger management, chemical dependency/coping, stress management, parenting problems, and teen issues. I enjoy working with the elderly and with all my clients.
My counseling style is compassionate and understanding. I like to use humor when it is appropriate. I try to create a warm and inviting atmosphere so it is easier to talk about issues and concerns. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy, because it is helpful to understand the relationship between yours thoughts and feelings and your behavior. I use Client Centered therapy as well, providing an empathetic understanding of what is going on. Solution Focused therapy is very effective for brief counseling, finding solutions in the present to help better your future.
I am happy to accompany you in your journey to feel better and stronger to have a happier and fulfilled life.
I hope to work with you soon.

After a year and some change with Erika, must say that the knowledge and insight that I have about myself, the ability to set boundaries.. it’s all thanks to her.. I can’t thank her enough for that .

I selected Erika for her strengths and experience. She has helped me out of crisis and is helping me to “see” a lot & have a plan to manage the stress of parenting teens.

Erika has been extremely helpful in guiding me to examining my own behaviors, recognizing habits that are not useful anymore and creating new, healthier habits.
