Erika is an LCSW who shows up with honesty, warmth, and a genuinely human presence. Her path into this work began on the client side of the therapy room, where the support and gentle challenges she received had a profound impact on her life. That experience inspired her to create a similar environment for others—one that feels grounding, supportive, and deeply connected. She understands that each person enters therapy with their own identity, history, and lived realities. As a white therapist, Erika is aware of the privilege she holds and is committed to ongoing learning, unlearning, and practicing in ways that are anti-racist and socially conscious. Her intention is to meet you without assumptions, to honor you experiences, and to make space for your truth.

When you’re in session with me, you’ll slow things down so you can actually hear yourself: your feelings, your reactions, and ultimately, your needs. Together, we'll sort through what’s getting in the way and gently reshape the patterns that no longer support you. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel more connected to yourself and the people who matter to you. Our time together should feel like a safe, steady home base: a place we can explore your inner world, make sense of messy relationships, and grow at a pace that feels right for you. Healing isn’t a straight line, but with the right support, it can lead to meaningful and lasting change in how you live, love, and relate.
