More about Erika
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the state of California. I can only provide therapy to clients that reside in the state of California. I have been working for about 10 years with clients that have a vast range of issues and concerns, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, relationship issues, domestic violence, abuse (physical and emotional), anger management, chemical dependency/coping, stress management, parenting problems, and teen issues. I enjoy working with the elderly and with all my clients.
My counseling style is compassionate and understanding. I like to use humor when it is appropriate. I try to create a warm and inviting atmosphere so it is easier to talk about issues and concerns. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy, because it is helpful to understand the relationship between yours thoughts and feelings and your behavior. I use Client Centered therapy as well, providing an empathetic understanding of what is going on. Solution Focused therapy is very effective for brief counseling, finding solutions in the present to help better your future.
I am happy to accompany you in your journey to feel better and stronger to have a happier and fulfilled life.
I hope to work with you soon.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I always feel better after a session with Erika. She’s very perceptive and encouraging. A perfect fit for me!
ERIKA IS VERY KIND.
Her availability to connect with you, to guide you with kindness, and the way she motivates you to get better it’s truly comforting and empowering I’m glad I was able to find her
Erika is compassionate, caring and wise. She is the ideal therapist to get me though a very difficult experience.
Would love to say that she’s a blessing, her kindness and empathy towards me that got me to feel so comfortable and like I known her for a really long time. I look forward each week to meet with her and keep working on my self discovery journey. Thank you for your patience and your sincerity. Very much appreciated ♥️
I selected Erika for her strengths and experience. She has helped me out of crisis and is helping me to “see” a lot & have a plan to manage the stress of parenting teens.
Erika is a wonderful therapist who I feel so fortunate to have connected with. We have been working together for a little over a year, and I am so amazed at how much progress I have made and continue to make. She is awesome!
Erika has been extremely helpful in guiding me to examining my own behaviors, recognizing habits that are not useful anymore and creating new, healthier habits.
I came to Erika with goals and in crisis. She has helped me focus and find strategies to be the adult more of the time, as opposed to the 3 year-old who often runs the show. My family & peace of mind are vastly improved from where I was. Vastly.
Erika is accessible, supportive and wise. I always feel better after talking to her.
Erika has been a wonderful therapist. I have had other therapist in the past, but I have never felt this kind of openness and connection with one. She is patience and attentive, and she asks thoughtful questions that help you to process your feelings even more. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a talented and compassionate therapist.
I came to Erika in crisis. She got me video appts quickly & consistently. She is helping me see a clearer path through this season of change in my life. I really appreciate her clarity.
Erika is fabulous. She jumped right in when I was having problems with another counselor, and thank goodness she did. She is the perfect counselor for me. She listens to my concerns, and provides practical, meaningful feedback. I always feel better after my sessions with Erika.
Erika and I have only had a few sessions, but I already feel like I made a good connection with her. She makes me feel safe and heard which is so important when sharing past trauma. I would recommend her 100%!
