Over the years she has worked primarily with women who have experienced addiction, homelessness, depression, relationship difficulty, parenting stress, codependency, and childhood sexual or emotional trauma.

Erika typically uses a cognitive behavioral approach to help people identify patterns in thinking and behavior that get in the way. She also draws on client-centered and trauma-focused methods when those fit the situation. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of thinking alongside emotional processing when needed.

In a meeting with her, a person can expect straightforward conversation about current struggles and goals. Topics often include communication problems, blended family dynamics, forgiveness, caregiver stress, and challenges around commitment or control. She also addresses issues such as substance use, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and coping with major life transitions.

Erika aims to work collaboratively with people to set realistic goals and try new strategies between sessions. Her approach is direct and respectful, with attention to the daily realities of parenting, work, and family life.
