I'm here to listen and understand what it is to be YOU! Without judgment or bias. I support the healing heart and the broken heart. I'm a real, and most of all honest. No Cap.

Looking forward to hearing from You. Until then stay locked in to the station WYOU where you matter.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful. As our therapeutic relationship grows, I offer direct feedback and thoughtful challenges to help you move out of patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR. An evidence-based approach that helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe therapy should meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. I often compare therapy to going to the gym: it is dedicated time to strengthen the way you understand and respond to your thoughts, emotions, relationships and behaviors.

My approach is warm, direct and collaborative. You can expect empathy, compassion and acceptance, along with thoughtful questions and practical strategies that help you make meaningful changes. Your needs, experiences and goals will guide our work together.

I support adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges and major life transitions. I also have experience working with concerns related to sexual orientation, identity, suicide prevention, family dynamics and professional stress.

You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start with what is happening right now and work together from there.

If anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma has started to feel like it's steering your life instead of you, that's exactly where I do my best work. I'm Erica, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I think of myself as your therapeutic GPS — you set the destination, and I help you find the route. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples, and I bring genuine respect, real-world knowledge, and yes, some humor to every session, because feeling comfortable with your therapist actually matters for getting better.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience helping adolescents, adults and families navigate trauma, anxiety, life, transitions, relationships, and other complex challenges. My approach is practical collaborative and grounded in the belief that therapy should help people make meaningful changes in their actual lives, not simply understand the problems better. My background includes extensive work in trauma informed and experiential therapy, including EMDR, mindfulness based approaches, internal family systems, and other evidence informed practices. I work to create a comfortable straightforward environment where clients can explore what is getting in the way, recognizing their strengths and develop approaches that genuinely fit who they are.

I enjoy working with both men and women, including teens and adults and have extensive experience providing mental health treatment to individuals with a wide range of clinical needs. I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and have spent much of my career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, where I led the mental health program at Butner and provided therapy and treatment planning for individuals living with serious mental illness.

My experience has taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, understanding the full context of their experiences, and providing practical, individualized support. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental approach to therapy and strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing and what they would like to change.
