She uses practical, conversational sessions and starts by listening to what is most pressing.

Her experience includes maternal infant mental health and supporting parents with early-childhood relationships.

In sessions she helps people talk through family conflict, manage anxiety and mood concerns, and build practical coping skills. She also supports people facing grief, addiction challenges, and life transitions. Erika uses motivational interviewing techniques alongside skill-based CBT and DBT strategies.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect clear tools, practice between sessions, and discussions about goals and progress. For international clients and English speakers she offers services consistent with her Michigan LMSW credential.
How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. In practice this can mean noticing how past loss or separation shows up in everyday connections and gently testing new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behavior; it offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused ideas help identify and name core emotions that drive relationship patterns and guide more direct conversations about needs and responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process means a mix of talking, skill practice, and short homework tasks when useful.
