She provides a safe space where patients can navigate life's challenges without fear of judgment.

Her inclusive approach emphasizes creating a supportive environment where patients can explore their emotions and experiences. Erika focuses on supporting people facing emotional distress, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions in her therapeutic practice. Drawing from her experience in addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and relationship difficulties, she is dedicated to helping patients overcome obstacles and move forward with hope and healing. Outside of work, Erika enjoys hiking, cooking, spending time with her family, and going for walks with her rescue dog.
