Experience the difference of a therapy process which seeks beyond symptoms to uncover and treat the root causes of suffering, for often life-changing, permanent outcomes.

Erica practices clinical psychology from a functional healthcare philosophy, which is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of a problem and promote optimal wellness. As a result of this progressive approach, individuals who work with Erica often demonstrate outcomes that exceed symptom improvement, extending to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors which align with the client’s Authentic Self. As such, symptom relief is achieved as a byproduct of a much broader, deeper process. Ultimately, applying a functional medicine model in clinical psychology promotes longer-lasting (potentially permanent) outcomes as well as opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth: according to Erica, this is where the ‘good stuff’ begins and often where individuals find themselves on rewarding, transformative journeys.
