A Little About Me

My name is Erika and I'm a Bilingual Therapist and Certified Meditation Teacher committed to helping people along their journey for overall wellness. I specialize in generalized anxiety, high functioning depression, life transitions, mindfulness practices, stress reduction, self-care, and overall wellness. All services are provided in English and Spanish.

I am someone who loves being outdoors in nature. It feeds my soul and is something I truly believe can help everyone. Simply being in touch with the beauty of nature is exciting, comforting, and brings forward opportunities for new experiences. As I see it, being outdoors and allowing the sun to shine on my face, helps to keep me mentally and physically healthy. I often encourage my clients to get in touch with nature. To engage in outdoor physical activities that will help move the anxious or stressed energy that is stuck in their bodies. It can be quite a healing process.

When you come to work with me, you will experience a calm and non-judgmental environment. It is also my job to challenge you. So be prepared for that too! Of course, it will be done in a compassionate and supportive way that helps guide you on your path to overall wellness.

On the professional side, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey. I also have credentials as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). I have been working in the mental health field for more than 15 years at all levels of care. For the past six years, I have provided clinical supervision to Master's level clinicians in the field as well. I am an on-going learner and love taking various courses each year to further enhance my practice.

I am also a passionate Meditation Teacher certified through The Path in Mindfulness & Compassion meditations.
