How Erika works
Erika blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with attachment and mindfulness ideas. She aims to balance empathy with gentle challenge so clients can make steady changes. Erika has a background working with youth and adults facing severe mental health concerns.
That experience shapes how she responds when problems feel complex or longstanding. Her work includes supporting people through trauma, grief, addiction, mood disorders, and stress-related difficulties. She helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep and eating issues, and relationship or family struggles.
Erika also addresses career stress, caregiver strain, codependency, and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care. Sessions focus on clear, actionable tools. That can mean learning specific coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Erika encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice small steps of progress.

Online support options
How Erika's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and develop more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills training to help when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods until you find what fits. Together you will choose techniques that match your needs, whether that means practicing new thinking habits, developing grounding skills, or exploring relationship patterns.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared work on skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and help people keep progress going despite busy schedules.
