A Little About What I Do
I work with people who feel shut down, disconnected, anxious, or unsure how to feel truly close to others—or even to themselves. My job is to help you feel less alone with those worries, to teach practical skills, and to guide you toward reconnecting with both yourself and the people you care about.
A little about me:
I know reaching out isn’t always easy—so if you’ve made it here, you’ve already taken a brave step.
I’m Erika, a therapist who believes healing happens through real connection, compassion, and sometimes a little humor. I’m not here to judge you or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to give you a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll work together to figure things out.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, overwhelmed, or just want someone in your corner—I’m here to walk alongside you. We’ll go at your pace, in a way that feels doable for you.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. And when you’re ready, I’d be honored to be part of your healing.
