Call today, if you feel stuck, sad, irritable, confused or alone. I would be honored to help guide you or your loved one on their journey.

First, I want to understand your story, what you have experienced, who you are and what you want to change. Then I will draw from my 20 plus years of direct, client experience to assist in creating your "roadmap to change." I am certified in full protocol EMDR, trained in CBT, DBT, and IFS.

The counseling relationship provides a unique opportunity to partner with a caring professional to examine life events together in a safe environment, generate personal insight/awareness and identify areas for empowered change. We all have the greatest potential for growth when we understand our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and the critical themes in our individual stories. This process allows us to navigate through adversity toward authentic meaning and purpose.

I utilize creativity through art therapy and talk therapy to cultivate a safe environment in order to promote healing for all ages. Sometimes it is difficult to find the words to express ourselves and art can be another way to communicate those thoughts, feelings and experiences. Or just talking if you prefer! I specialize in managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, emotion dysregulation as well as addictive behaviors.

There's a freedom in finding your flow and therapy can provide that healing space. It is an honor to assist you on your journey, be it a short term or lifestyle goal. Island Therapy gives you a safe space in which to bring forth what has always been a part of you and help you recognize your inner wealth with curiosity and kindness to create shifts towards increased fulfillment, sense of purpose and progress.

Erica takes pride in creating a calm and nurturing environment for her clients, providing them with a safe and comfortable place for self-exploration, expression, and emotional healing. Her psychodynamic approach to counseling is often described as relatable, strength-based and holistic, believing that one level of the self should never be the focus of clinical attention to the exclusion of another.

Thank you for taking the time to review my personal statement. Engaging in therapy is an important decision and one that can definitely improve your quality of life. I take a holistic approach to therapy using common sense, theory, and cognitive-behavioral methods. When I meet with a client, I provide assistance and guidance in the process of incorporating your mind, body and the essence of the soul to allow you the opportunity to become, empowered and enlightened.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”- Maya Angelou. Are you lost in your emotions and feel like life is “unraveling”? One of the bravest things you can do is seek help and begin to understand your own story. I believe early life experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world around us that can develop into negative beliefs about who we are. Over time old beliefs and patterns that once helped protect us are no longer useful and can cause disruption in all areas of life. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, let trauma control us and feel anxious/depressed/angry all the time.

Life is not always as we expect or even plan it. Often times, we find ourselves struggling with the ever-changing world around us. You don't have to walk through these tough times by yourself feeling alone. Reach out, and allow someone who is experienced in working through some of the toughest challenges you might be facing to walk beside you and give you the space to talk out and process those challenges. Let's create a space, together, for you to open up and share without fear of judgement or shame!

My ideal client is someone who really wants to get sober and change their life. Their issues are addiction, alcoholism and dually diagnosed clients that have trauma, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression that want full recovery. They want to gain freedom from active addiction and become rocketed into recovery. They want to have fun in life!

Most of my clients are people who have lost sight of how awesome they actually are whether that be due to some sort of trauma, a bad or unfulfilling relationship, a chronic illness, or a mental health disorder. They are people looking to make sense of their realities and to learn how to manage them. My clients are mostly adolescents and adults, but I will see children who are capable of handling the telehealth format.

My mission statement is focused on assisting others to find their autonomy, self-actualization, and sense of empowerment in the midst of every day challenges.
