I offer both individual therapy and couples therapy to provide space for truly life-changing, self-work, partnered or not. Together we'll do the hard work of peeling back the layers of you to connect to your authenticity. We create a safe space to unpack generational trauma and societal conditioning that has left you stuck and removed from your true self.

Hi! I'm Erica, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which can look like a lot of things. Ultimately, I work with you to help create a safe space for transformative healing and change through revealing the power of vulnerability within your relationships (including the one with yourself). I listen to you (like, really listen) and reveal skills on learning how to listen more effectively too.
Do you and your partner find yourselves in the same cycle of fighting over seemingly meaningless things? It can feel like you're in a relationship with a different partner or someone that you don't even know anymore. The arguments seem to happen more frequently and feel more intense. This leads to resentment and anger, which only continues the argumentative cycle.
It can be difficult presenting having it all together to everyone else, but secretly struggling with self-doubt and not feeling good enough. This doubt creates a persona of a 'people pleaser' who consistently quiets their wants and needs to cater to everyone else's. The idea of "earning" others' affection and love is something that is familiar to you.
Erica has been extremely helpful. We look forward to our weekly sessions. Both my wife and I have a better understanding of each other since we started doing sessions with Erica and also worked out things that have bothered us for a long time. Erica is grounded and kind in her approach and creates a excellent foundation for healthy communication while still maintaining each of us feeling seen and heard in our needs.
I deeply believe in the emotional and financial value of therapy. I also acknowledge that it can be cost-prohibitive to pay out-of-pocket, even on a sliding scale, in an expensive city like New York.

If you are someone you know is in a relationship being controlled by another individual through verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, please call: 1-800-942-6906.

Wow, Erica has covered so much in the very short period of time I’ve been with her! I have had an embarrassing issue that no other persons, not even my PsyD or Psychiatrist, were willing to tackle. She even makes it comfortable in doing so! She has an easy going manner that’s hard to find in this day and age. I look forward to more sessions with her.

I was a skeptic about therapy at one point. I didn’t believe that I needed someone to talk to and that it wouldn’t make a difference. I was wrong it’s only been a short time since I’ve been working with Erica, but she’s very understanding and great at scheduling time for her clients. Even when I made myself estranged she was dedicated and made sure to follow up with me to keep me on track. I am super appreciative and happy to be making exponential strides on my personal problems with the help of such a devoted and great counselor.

Erica hit upon what I was feeling and asked thought provoking questions to get me thinking about solutions and exploring my options. She showed her compassion and understanding of my situation and I felt assured about her expertise.

Erica is absolutely a dream! She is so kind, understanding, and affirming. She knows when to draw me back from rumination when to push me to reflect more on my thoughts and actions. This has been such a healing experience and I would highly recommend Erica to anyone who needs a kind, empathetic companion to figuring out their lives!

I am not exaggerating when I say that she is the single best counselor I have ever had. And I’ve had quite a few. She’s empathetic, understanding, intelligent, and just so real. I’m so blessed to have her.

Erica is grounded and kind in her approach and creates an excellent foundation for healthy communication while still maintaining each of us feeling seen and heard in our needs. This allowed for a synergy between my partner and I that had been there all along and she helped us uncover it. She’s incredibly attentive and has addressed our core issues in a holistic way. Now that our core issues feel addressed, the way she guides our sessions is really helping our relationship continue to deepen and grow! Highly recommend Erica!!!

Erica really supported, encouraged, and helped me work through some difficult times in my life and really helped me in my journey in growing as a person. I am so appreciative of my time with her. She is patient, kind, understanding, present, encouraging, and frames things in ways that foster growth and introspection.
