I'm a therapist practicing statewide in California helping high-achieving women go from overwhelmed and burnt out to balanced and fulfilled. If this will be your first time in therapy, it's normal to feel nervous or overwhelmed. You may even feel doubtful that your problems are "big" enough to warrant therapy at all. First, I want to convey to you that I honor the courage it takes to ask for support in seeking therapy, as you found your way here.
As a recovering perfectionist and high-achiever myself, I understand that your self-reliance and independence have been key to your success. However, it's important to remember that you don't have to carry everything on your own. Seeking support is also a strength.
You deserve to achieve your goals while also maintaining your well-being.

"Erica's guidance and perspective have helped me learn to trust my own wisdom and find the courage to pursue the path that resonates with me. Genuine and empathetic, she creates space to heal, explore ideas, challenge self-doubt, and connect more deeply to the core of our human experience. A true healer and master in her craft, 10/10."
"Erica is very personable and makes me feel comfortable to talk openly to. I really like how she helps me work towards goals and set helpful boundaries. I feel like I have really benefited from therapy by understanding things in new perspectives with the tools Erica provides for me. Thanks!"
