You aren’t feeling like yourself, or perhaps you’re trying to figure out who ‘yourself’ is. You’ve become distant from your friends and family, can’t seem to focus on work or school, and are constantly worrying about the future. All of this has left you feeling overwhelmed and consumed by your thoughts, and in need of extra support. As your therapist, I’ll help you identify and shift emotions, thoughts, and patterns that are keeping you stuck. My goal is to broaden self-awareness, give you the tools to deal with future challenges, and guide you in achieving wellness and a positive sense of self.

Hi there, I am Erisa. Have you ever felt stuck, alone, or overwhelmed by challenges that life throws at you? Are you looking for a safe space where you can be your true self and process through unresolved painful events?

When these challenges prevent you from functioning in important areas of your life, and leave you feeling as life is just passing you by, reaching out for help is one of the most courageous things you can do. Much of my experience is working with adolescents, families, and individuals, who experience everything from relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and stress, to name a few. I have worked in Outpatient community settings, schools, homes, and telehealth.

If you’re reading this, that probably means that you are in a place where you have tried a lot of things to feel better, or help your loved one feel better and just don’t know what else to do. I would love to help support you on this journey. Therapy is a collaboration between two individuals (therapist and client) and when successful, truly amazing things can occur within this space. I use the relationship between my clients and I to help them build insight and awareness into the way they show up in the world.
