I offer both individual therapy and couples therapy to provide space for truly life-changing, self-work, partnered or not. Together we'll do the hard work of peeling back the layers of you to connect to your authenticity. We create a safe space to unpack generational trauma and societal conditioning that has left you stuck and removed from your true self.

Hi! I'm Erica, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which can look like a lot of things.
Ultimately, I work with you to help create a safe space for transformative healing and change through revealing the power of vulnerability within your relationships (including the one with yourself).
I listen to you (like, really listen) and reveal skills on learning how to listen more effectively too.
Together, we create a path to reconnecting with yourself and others.
Deciding to make changes to your life and relationship can be scary, so I applaud you for considering this first step!

Do you and your partner find yourselves in the same cycle of fighting over seemingly meaningless things?
It can feel like you're in a relationship with a different partner or someone that you don't even know anymore.
The arguments seem to happen more frequently and feel more intense.
This leads to resentment and anger, which only continues the argumentative cycle.
Being in this place as a couple can feel hopeless and hurtful.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
It's so common for couples to get into a dance of disconnection.

It can be difficult presenting having it all together to everyone else, but secretly struggling with self-doubt and not feeling good enough.
This doubt creates a persona of a 'people pleaser' who consistently quiets their wants and needs to cater to everyone else's.
The idea of "earning" others' affection and love is something that is familiar to you.
You're self-aware enough to recognize that this is not the way you want to continue living life, but feel stuck in how to move forward.
This leads to frustration and resentment, which can show up in anger and defensiveness.

Erica has been extremely helpful.
We look forward to our weekly sessions.
Both my wife and I have a better understanding of each other since we started doing sessions with Erica and also worked out things that have bothered us for a long time.
Erica is grounded and kind in her approach and creates a excellent foundation for healthy communication while still maintaining each of us feeling seen and heard in our needs.
This allowed for a synergy between my partner and I that had been there all along and she helped us uncover it.

I deeply believe in the emotional and financial value of therapy.
I also acknowledge that it can be cost-prohibitive to pay out-of-pocket, even on a sliding scale, in an expensive city like New York.
