About Erika

She also helps with grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, career challenges, bipolar mood issues, ADHD and coping with life changes.

How Erika works
She works in both English and Spanish and has experience with people from varied cultural backgrounds. She currently contributes to an intercultural therapy centre where language and cultural barriers are part of the work. Her style is collaborative and relational.
She listens without judgement and aims to reflect what clients bring in a clear way. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, past patterns and how they affect present life. Erika uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based, psychodynamic and client-centred ideas.
That means she pays attention to early relationship patterns, to underlying emotional processes, and to the person in the moment. She helps people bring unconscious patterns into awareness so they can make different choices. Practical help may include new ways of seeing a problem and suggestions for coping strategies.
Erika’s role is to support and empower people as they work through change. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

Online support options
How attachment and relational approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections. It helps when past hurts shape trust, intimacy or reactions in close relationships.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, offers empathic reflection and follows the client’s pace to build self-understanding and confidence.
Psychodynamic ideas look at underlying feelings and unconscious patterns that influence behaviour. This can be useful for people who want to understand recurring themes and make longer-term changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps settle on practical steps and ways of working that feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging suits shorter updates or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy days while keeping a consistent therapy process.
