About My Clients
Do you often feel anxious, on edge, or like you’re bracing for something bad—even when nothing obvious is wrong? Many of my clients grew up in environments where emotional safety was never guaranteed. Now, as adults, they find themselves struggling with anxiety, chronic self-doubt, or a deep sense of disconnection. If you’ve felt stuck in survival mode for too long, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay there. I help clients uncover the roots of these patterns and gently process them.
My Background and Approach
I’m Erica, a licensed therapist with specialized training in EMDR, and I help adults heal from the lasting effects of developmental trauma. Many of my clients grew up in emotionally unpredictable or neglectful environments where they had to stay strong, invisible, or in control just to survive. These early patterns often show up in adulthood as anxiety, chronic self-doubt, emotional disconnection, or difficulty in relationships. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in attachment theory and nervous system regulation. I integrate EMDR with somatic techniques, parts work, and mindfulness-based practices to help you safely access and process painful memories. We don’t just focus on managing symptoms—we go to the source, so you can finally feel safe in your body and grounded in your identity. I’ll support you in building practical tools for emotional regulation, while also guiding you through the deeper healing work that creates lasting change. You don’t have to stay stuck.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens in relationships rooted in safety, trust, and authenticity. As a trauma survivor and therapist, I bring both lived experience and professional training into the room. I know what it’s like to grow up feeling responsible for others, emotionally neglected, or stuck in survival mode. I honor how hard it can be to reach out for support—and how powerful it can be to finally be met with care. I’m committed to creating a space where clients of all identities feel seen, respected, and empowered. I actively support LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and trauma-impacted communities. My work is grounded in anti-oppressive values and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth. I value honesty, compassion, and curiosity in the therapeutic process. I also believe in collective healing and regularly engage with causes focused on mental health access, trauma-informed care, and social equity. Outside of therapy, I find joy in writing, music, and nature.
