More about me

Licensing: MA, LMFT Years in Practice: 12 State: California

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the state of California. I can only provide therapy to clients that reside in the state of California. I have been working for about 10 years with clients that have a vast range of issues and concerns, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, relationship issues, domestic violence, abuse (physical and emotional), anger management, chemical dependency/coping, stress management, parenting problems, and teen issues. I enjoy working with the elderly and with all my clients.

My counseling style is compassionate and understanding. I like to use humor when it is appropriate. I try to create a warm and inviting atmosphere so it is easier to talk about issues and concerns. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy, because it is helpful to understand the relationship between yours thoughts and feelings and your behavior. I use Client Centered therapy as well, providing an empathetic understanding of what is going on. Solution Focused therapy is very effective for brief counseling, finding solutions in the present to help better your future.

I am happy to accompany you in your journey to feel better and stronger to have a happier and fulfilled life.

I hope to work with you soon.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

I selected Erika for her strengths and experience. She has helped me out of crisis and is helping me to “see” a lot & have a plan to manage the stress of parenting teens.

Overall

Erika has been extremely helpful in guiding me to examining my own behaviors, recognizing habits that are not useful anymore and creating new, healthier habits.

Overall

I came to Erika with goals and in crisis. She has helped me focus and find strategies to be the adult more of the time, as opposed to the 3 year-old who often runs the show. My family & peace of mind are vastly improved from where I was. Vastly.

Erika is accessible, supportive and wise. I always feel better after talking to her.

Overall

Erika has been a wonderful therapist. I have had other therapist in the past, but I have never felt this kind of openness and connection with one. She is patience and attentive, and she asks thoughtful questions that help you to process your feelings even more. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a talented and compassionate therapist.

Erika is fabulous. She jumped right in when I was having problems with another counselor, and thank goodness she did. She is the perfect counselor for me. She listens to my concerns, and provides practical, meaningful feedback. I always feel better after my sessions with Erika.

Overall

Erika and I have only had a few sessions, but I already feel like I made a good connection with her. She makes me feel safe and heard which is so important when sharing past trauma. I would recommend her 100%!
