My therapy practice incorporates humor and adapts to the needs of my clients, ranging from "saying it like it is" to nurturing and supporting you.

People who see me for individual therapy are usually facing turmoil either due to current stressors or past issues that keep surfacing and prevent them from moving forward in their lives. Often, people tell me that they feel "stuck" and need direction/guidance. By working with me they identify their inner strengths and capabilities; they feel confident in themselves to take on challenges that come their way. In therapy we identify things that should change because what clients are doing currently is not helping. I problem solve and discuss ways to make their present meaningful. My strength based approach resonates with clients.

I'm a licensed MFT and AASECT certified Sex Therapist, located in Minnesota and Arizona. I'll help you find grounded, positive approaches to shift your situation. Whether you're dealing with relationship frustrations or personal issues, it's difficult to wonder if things can get better - and to think you should be able to figure it out on your own. If fights with your partner go nowhere, your sex life is disappointing (or non-existent), you suffer with anxiety or depression, or you or your partner struggle with out of control sexual behavior or drug/alcohol use, I can help. I am engaged and active in sessions.

Erica is a therapist's therapist. I work with the elements of nature to reveal the sources of discomfort, disharmony, and dis-ease that are often the source of pain, suffering, and trauma within a person, family, or ancestral lineage. I believe that a holistic approach is vital to true wellbeing and that healing occurs on multiple levels- emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. In addition to clinical experience, I lived in West Africa and after returning I apprenticed with Dagara Elder, Malidoma Somé.

Do you question if your wants and needs are reasonable? Have you been told you're "too sensitive"? Are you finding yourself in relationships where you give more than you get? I am committed to empowering women to trust themselves, understand the science behind their "symptoms," and ultimately improve their relationships (whether in one or not). I'll help you develop skills to support connection while reducing self-doubt and worry. You'll walk away from therapy less reliant on others to gauge how you should feel about something and more in tune with your body's internal wisdom.

“No matter how difficult it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth” – Martha Beck If you are looking for a safe place to stop your circular thinking, to open up, and say it out loud, then this is your invitation to do so. A label you may identify with or are wondering about is: anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, neurodivergence, heartbreak, divorce, career confusion, or relationship struggles. These labels can increase our self-understanding or keep us stuck. For couples struggling with lack of connection, poor communication, infidelity, or phase of life issues, take the risk and get busy fighting for what you have.

Are you interested in how to use the connections between your mind, brain and body to improve your health, enrich your relationships, and increase your overall life? Working with these connections has been the focus of my 30 years of practice as a psychologist. Since every client's presenting concern in some way or another impacts upon their brain, their mind and their body - whether that involves depression, anxiety, pain, sleep, relationship challenges, or digestive concerns - my orientation to therapy is well positioned to help people get better now and to be better positioned to stay healthier in the future.

It is difficult and very anxiety provoking to make the initial appointment, although, that is the first step towards success! I want to validate that emotional response, and to bring comfort by providing a faith driven approach enlightened with hope and strength for your personal growth and development. I assist my clients to be empowered by their self-worth, and work collaboratively to reach their ideal goal of success and progress. I provide a supportive, humorous, and safe environment where it's possible to connect on a therapeutic level.

Currently accepting new clients! I specialize in working with college students and young adults (18-30). I view this age as an optimal window to be working on ourselves, growing, and addressing patterns that may no longer serve us. In addition, I enjoy working with folks of other ages, and couples of any presentation (LGBTQ+, married, dating, engaged, separating). If you're struggling with life transitions, trauma, stress, overwhelm, exploring family of origin concerns, relationship concerns, or gender/sexuality presentation, I may be the right therapist for you!

Do experiences from the past keep coming back to haunt you? Are you stuck and find that your past still impacts your mood, sleep, health, and behaviors well after the experience? Maybe you recreate harmful patterns and are troubled by emotions and memories from an experience long ago. The past not only impacts you but those around you. Some many find themselves angry and irritable and others use substances to numb their pain or engage in behaviors that you know will hurt you, your relationship, or your family in the long run. Despite everything you have tried, you cannot find peace.

Another day of managing stress, trying to figure out what rules matter and what compromises have the least consequences. Get some rest, miss the deadline. Miss the workout, feel the irritability climb. Seems that playing by the rules has led you astray. The pieces seldom fit together anymore and all you really want is to feel good! Is it too much to ask to have a good relationship? One that loves and accepts you, without minimizing your needs or your hurt. Feeling so alone, when surrounded by people (people who don't hesitate to let you know what they need), is hard to explain. Yet you know it to be true for you.

Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

Do you often: feel like an outsider/burden, even in your own family; struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and setting boundaries; have a hard time identifying, understanding, and coping with your own (and others') feelings? Do you feel like you don't really know yourself, and feel unhappy/empty, even when things are going well? Or perhaps you want to communicate and connect on a deeper level with others, particularly family/romantic relationships, but struggle to do so. These are all common signs of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). Fortunately, CEN is treatable (and preventable)!

Have you experienced moments of anxiety and depression and don’t know why? Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you asking yourself “now what?” and wondering what life moving forward will look like? Do you have moments of feeling happy/joyful/excited and also have moments of sadness/guilt/frustration/confusion? Big life changes, both positive (such as retirement, becoming a new parent, marriage, etc.) and challenging (such as divorce, grieving the death of a loved one, receiving a life changing diagnosis, etc.), can bring a wide range of thoughts and feelings about what the change means for you and your life moving forward.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
