Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and in-home care. She has supported people across the lifespan, including older adults, in a variety of settings and has experience addressing caregiver stress and aging-related concerns.

Erika blends methods such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to match what a client needs. She encourages active participation in therapy and offers psychoeducation to help people understand patterns and choices.

Parents and caregivers are a frequent focus, and she speaks directly to the challenges of postpartum concerns, parenting strain, and career burnout. Erika emphasizes practical tools for improving communication, managing anger, and coping with grief or trauma.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Erika draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand relationship reactions and learn different ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress through practical exercises and small behavioral experiments.

Finding the right style is part of the process. Erika will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus, homework, and the pace of change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The main practical benefits are being able to fit sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and choosing session times that match work or caregiving routines. Online sessions can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to continue therapy when circumstances change. Licensed professionals tailor the approach so therapy works around daily life, not the other way around.
