I have 18 years of experience in the social service field and have been a Clinical Director for several programs in the valley, but enjoy providing therapy to individuals and families the most. I work with children, adolescents, and adults providing individual, couples, and family therapy. I understand that taking the first step towards getting help can be the most difficult and look forward to gaining your trust and helping you regain peace in your life.

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma—it's all hard, and each challenge is different, so an ideal client is someone who is ready to work on their goals. I enjoy helping clients work through whatever concern or crisis they have. Being able to watch as someone makes the connections or meets a goal is always rewarding and the best part of the job.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients.

As a licensed therapist, I have supported a variety of people in resolving troublesome situations that have been limiting their ability to effectively meet the challenges of their daily lives. These situations may be related to their jobs, relationships with friends and family, or the negative self-talk that we impose on ourselves. I have worked alongside families that are experiencing challenges related to having a child with a developmental disability. This included supporting the child with the disability themselves.

Finding a therapist is like dating, not everyone who takes you out to dinner will be “the one”. The number one factor that assist people in reaching their full potential in therapy, is the relationship between the Client and therapist. Ericka has a reputation of quickly establishing trust and rapport with Clients, and individuals from all walks of life. Expect a caring and energetic creative therapist, who utilizes science and humor to help you, help yourself! My ideal Clients are children, adolescents and adults ages 4-50 who may be full of energy, creativity, loudness, craziness, sadness, and even madness.

My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally dysregulated, has lost their sense of identity, and no longer finds joy in activities they once enjoyed. They may feel lost or be experiencing a significant life transition. These individuals are seeking to reconnect with themselves, discover their purpose, and live a meaningful life. They are eager to experience healthy emotions and foster positive connections and relationships. They are open to new possibilities and are willing to explore what a different, fulfilling life could look like. These clients are committed to healing from their trauma and continuing on a growth journey.
