Her background includes work across the lifespan, from newborns and toddlers to teens, adults, and older adults, and special attention to maternal-infant mental health and caregiver stress.

She describes her approach as strength-based and advocacy-oriented, aiming to support clients while they work toward clearer goals. Erika commonly uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change and build confidence in their next steps.

People who come to her can expect practical, down-to-earth guidance and an emphasis on improving daily functioning. For readers focused on aging and geriatric issues, she lists that area among her additional focuses and can address caregiver strain, life transitions, and related concerns.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people connect and respond in relationships. It looks at patterns that developed over time and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can ease relationship and caregiving stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change thinking and reactions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people identify and shift interaction cycles that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions and while coordinating with caregivers or family members, depending on what the client needs.
