I feel it’s been a great match for me so far. I know my healing process has been so slow. But she’s been patient with me and does help and provides answers and most of all a listening ear for when I need it. She has explained things and put things into great perspectives. And I’m glad she’s my therapist.

More about Erika

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Everyone needs assistance and guidance from time to time. I have spent the majority of my career in mental health working with the homeless population, youth and individuals with severe mental health concerns. I have helped individuals to navigate a variety of issues. I am comfortable working with individuals who are on the Autism Spectrum, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I believe people should be allowed to grow and progress from whatever type of issues they are struggling with while being treating with compassion, respect and care. Each client should leave a session with tools they can implement in their own lives, even if that is just the release of being able to talk about their troubles or concerns. I approach therapy with a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sometimes our emotions just become too much for us to deal with on our own. I believe my sessions are compassionate, yet challenging enough to help you grow. My experience is not only academic but personal as well. I hope that you will benefit from speaking with me, and I can help you enrich your life, work toward your goals, and reach your full potential.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed January 2024

Erika is a fantastic therapist. She has been attentive, supportive, helpful, understanding, and compassionate in a way that directly relates with my feelings, trauma, and experience. She takes the time to get through the extra curricular portion of our sessions and for that, I am so grateful. She is relatable, kind, intelligent, and genuine. I appreciate her attention, support, and knowledge in helping me navigate a very challenging and difficult time in my life. She has given me the tools and assignments I need to process my unique experience. I feel fully seen, heard, and supported by her. My last therapist did not engage with me to the degree that I get with Erika and the results on my psyche and state of mind are substantial. I have nothing but positive things to say about her and would recommend her for anyone going through a rough place in their life. Thank you.

Erika is a very attentive woman who will hold space for your thoughts and emotions. Through her personal experience, and studies she is proven to have the knowledge many do not have to help themselves. If you’d like a therapist with a style based in what feels like a friendship with healthy boundaries, she can guide you to becoming a better version of yourself.
