ABOUT ME
About Erica
I received my Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, and I am currently under the supervision of Martha Ankney, MAC, LPC. I strive to walk alongside people as they journey through their story and discover healing and growth. My areas of interest include premarital counseling, grief therapy for adults and children, and general life changes and stressors. I provide a safe space to discuss LGBTQ+ topics and would love to go on your gender identity/sexuality journey with you. I also offer counseling that incorporates faith and religion when requested. Currently, I am pursuing education through The Gottman Institute for couples counseling, continuing education for grief therapy utilizing Dr. Alan Wolfelt's companioning model, and I am in EMDR training. Also, I am certified in the SYMBIS assessment for premarital counseling. When I'm not counseling, you can find me hanging out with my dog, reading, or exploring nature by running, biking, or hiking.
MY SERVICES
Individual Counseling
My individual counseling sessions offer personalized support tailored to each client's unique needs. Through one-on-one sessions, I provide a confidential and empathetic environment for clients to address personal issues, improve coping strategies, and enhance self-awareness. I am nonjudgmental and call out behaviors when it seems like it will be most helpful to the client. I see clients ages 8 years old and up.
Premaritial Counseling
Premarital counseling is designed to help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship. My goal is to facilitate productive conversations and offer guidance to couples seeking to enhance their emotional connection, build trust, and create a more fulfilling partnership. I am trained through Level 1 in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and am certified in the SYMBIS assessment for premarital counseling.
Grief Therapy
Grief is difficult to navigate alone. My goal is to create a safe space for you to navigate the feelings that arise while grieving a loss. Oftentimes, our culture makes people feel like there should be a set timeline for their grief, but I believe grief moves at its own pace. I provide support for people who have lost loved ones and beloved pets. I provide grief counseling for ages 8 years old and up.
