Fantastic listener, I really enjoy the time I get with her to process what’s going on in my life. She always gives me the space I need to just feel my feelings during our sessions. I look forward to them when I have them, and I think she is phenomenal at what she does. She also makes sure to hold me accountable and helps me create plans for the future which I really appreciate

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

This was the best thing I think I could have done for myself EVER!!!
Erika has supported me and guided me along my journey to bettering myself. I couldn’t be anymore grateful for her and the help she has provided for me. I have finally seen progress within myself and wouldn’t be where I am without her guidance.
Attentive and professional, and a real genuine soul.
I’ve never felt so guided and understood by a therapist. The tools that Erika has given me have truly changed my life.
Erika is an excellent listener, a thoughtful brainstormer, and a creative problem solver, I feel as though she keeps me, my relationships, and the balance in my life, all in mind when she responds to the issues of the week. I have faith in her to give me sound advice and counsel, because she thinks of me, my career, and my family in the context of my personal growth. I truly feel fortunate to have found her!
Very easy to communicate with
Erika has been exceptionally responsive. We've really just started and our engagement already gives me a level of trust and confidence I wasn't expecting to have until we had been engaged for many more months. I'm already feeling more relief from my anxiety and support from someone objective, who is clearly there to help and provide me with tools for living my best.
After just one season I felt very comfortable with Erika and new she was a good fit for me!
