Healthcare Workers
You’re dedicated to helping others, but the long shifts, emotional strain, and constant pressure are weighing on you. Whether it’s burnout, secondary trauma, or the stress of the healthcare system, therapy can help you process your experiences, set boundaries, and find ways to protect your well-being while continuing to do the work you love.

Social Workers
You entered this field to make a difference, but the emotional labor is taking a toll. The stories you hear, the systemic barriers you face, and the feeling of never being able to do enough can be overwhelming. Therapy provides a space to process the emotional weight of your work, build coping strategies, and prevent burnout.

Educators & School Professionals
You care deeply about your students, but the demands of the job—behavioral challenges, unsupportive administrations, emotional exhaustion—are making it harder to show up every day. Therapy can help you work through the stress, set emotional boundaries, and find ways to stay engaged without losing yourself in the process.
A message from Erica to potential clients
“Life sometimes has us feeling burnt out, used up, and exhausted. We feel so overwhelmed that we are unclear about what we want or are having difficulty pursuing it. We might feel lost and blame ourselves for our own hurt or insecurities.
Therapy is a place where you can share what’s on your mind, find your voice, and let go of self-blame or shame. It can also help you learn how to set healthy boundaries so you can take better care of yourself and feel more energized. .
I believe that you are the expert on your own life, so the goals of therapy will be unique to you. I provide a calm, safe space for you to explore your values and clarify your goals to help you live the life you want. I can help you develop tools to manage your stress and anxiety and increase your peace of mind.
I look forward to hearing from you!”
