I'm so glad you're here.​

I'm Erika, a bilingual (hablo español), emotion focused, and somatic counselor. I specialize in healing psychological suffering such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain and many other symptoms that affect relationships to self and others. 

I believe that you have the innate capacity to heal, transform and flourish when provided with safety, connection and loving awareness. I help you access this inner strength through Brainspotting and Experiential Dynamic Therapy. These modalities focus on the emotional and somatic experiences in the present moment as we create a safe and supportive space for you to connect with your emotions. You are in control of your experience as I witness with concentration and compassion your body and brain restructure and heal itself. 

Unresolved internal and emotional struggles can present as various symptoms such as overthinking, ruminating, criticizing, doubting or sabotaging yourself and your choices. Sometimes this shows up as impulsive or compulsive behaviors. It could leave you feeling isolated or disconnected from your relationships. It may be experienced as anxiety, depression, or pain in the body without a structural cause. You don't have to face this alone! Together we can get to the roots of anxiety, depression, and pain to understand these subconscious thoughts and behaviors that, at one point in the past, protected you, but now are getting in the way of your relationship with yourself and others.

By bringing awareness to these subconscious behaviors, you are provided with choices that move away from unhelpful beliefs and patterns. By experiencing difficult emotions beneath these symptoms you come in contact with who you really are, and an inner knowing of what you need to flourish and become your potential. Roots can be both the site of core wounds and the source of healing.

Deep within us calls for healing and integration. I am here to accompany you on your way back home, to your roots, your authentic self. ​​I would be honored to hold space for you.
