Hi all - My name is Erica and I've been a practicing clinical social worker since 2013. My approach to therapy is flexible because your needs every session may not look or sound the same every time. I'm ready to meet you where you are at. From students away from home for the first time, to adult-learners, Veterans, to musicians or doctoral-candidates, those of you looking for short-term solutions or long-term collaboration...however you identify I am committed to help. I want you to feel safe, empowered, and connected throughout your entire therapy experience. While life transitions, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal issues are my specialties, let's discuss what your needs are and how I can help. Outside of the therapy world, I enjoy reading, playing Fortnite, golfing, and spending time with my husband, our toddler, and our family and friends.

Life often brings us to a crossroads - where old perspectives, ways of feeling and being meet a desire for something new. Self-criticism, pain from past hurt, and fear of the future can create distance from a sense of aliveness, and hold us back from meaningful change. Over time, this may show up as relationship conflict, lack of purpose, feeling confused or numb, anxious, or depressed. Often these patterns are rooted in early relationships or unresolved experiences that shape how we view the world, attach and relate. I see therapy as a process of helping clients reconnect with themselves; rebuilding clarity, self-trust, and agency. Therapy with me is collaborative, authentic, and most importantly - rooted in the safety and trust of relationship. It is important to me to balance authenticity, warmth and humor, with honesty and directness. I offer traditional talk therapy and somatic practices that help you understand, process, and relate to your emotions - and whole self - in new ways.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treating adolescents and young adults with a variety of presenting problems including OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and behavioral concerns.

I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) and a strengths-based approach to help individuals build lasting coping strategies, increase psychological flexibility, and achieve meaningful change. Whether you're dealing with intrusive thoughts, overwhelming worry, or persistent low mood, I offer a supportive space to explore and overcome these challenges. With a focus on helping clients develop practical tools and insight, I am dedicated to fostering a path toward emotional well-being and a life in alignment with your values.

Therapy can feel intimidating. Together, we can create a space that feels comfortable and secure. I invite compassion and safety with all of your life's challenges. I specialize in navigating big life transitions, reducing stress/anxiety and offering practical tools that help facilitate your day to day. I love being a therapist, and helping my clients improve their mental health.

Calling all anxious folks struggling with frequent worries, "what if" thoughts, intrusive thoughts or images, or feeling like you are always trying to manage or control your anxiety: relief is possible! I specialize in working with college students with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, procrastination, and high-pressure academic or occupational environments. My guess is that if you struggle with these, you have been working VERY hard to feel better. I would love to work with you to develop new, evidence-backed strategies to respond to your anxiety and find relief. I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is safe, affirming, and collaborative. Together, we will focus on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify areas to intervene, learn skills, and find relief from anxiety. I approach clients with curiosity, flexibility, and acceptance- and I will encourage you to approach yourself the same way.

I work either in person or remotely via video conferencing. I teach DBT skills as well as provide other types of therapy including CBT and psychodynamic therapy. I help young adults navigate relationships, school, and career choice.

I help people learn how to take care of themselves. ​​ ​ In our sessions, you will develop the skills to navigate family dynamics, understand your needs, communicate boundaries, and build self-trust and self-esteem. ​ So, whether you identify as a conflict avoider, people pleaser, overachiever, perfectionist, or anxious attacher, I can help you figure out who you are, what you want, and who you want to be.

Located walking distance to Vassar College and a short ride from Marist, I aim to help college aged clients clarify their desired direction in their life and better understand the barriers in their way. Together we will work on developing coping skills, understand personal storylines that no longer serve you, and work towards fully integrated, authentic and mindful living. I also have a special interest in working with individuals living with chronic illness and/or dealing with grief.

I understand that many seek therapy during very difficult times, times when overwhelming life stressors and transitions begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, or a sense of well-being. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist, I’m here to help adults ages 18 and up develop practical tools and insight so these symptoms no longer dictate how they live. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with patients in overcoming mental health symptoms that impact day-to-day functioning. This includes discomfort in social situations due to anxiety, depression, or low motivation; or seeking treatment because of significant life challenges such as relationship discord, professional stressors and burnout, and loss. No matter the struggle, my goal is to assist in the development of tools and coping skills that help patients better manage emotions. If you relate to these struggles and are ready to hear more, please reach out today. Together, we will build practical tools, insight, and resilience so you can navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity. I believe a strong collaborative relationship is key to helping you manage symptoms of anxiety and depression and move toward living the life you want. That’s why therapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and focused on creating a space where you feel heard and understood. Our time together is conversational, not clinical; I don’t use a lot of clinical jargon, as I feel that this approach allows for the clearest communication and reduces the presence of a power dynamic. When people ask me why I chose the field of social work and became a therapist, my answer is simple: it just seemed to fit me. My first introduction to social work and psychotherapy was during my second year of college. Of course, I had an interest in psychology, but I’ve also always had a keen curiosity about people and their stories. Social work and psychotherapy certainly allow me to combine those two interests. Still, it wasn't just the course work in those classes that caught my attention – it was the professors. They spoke with compassion about helping others in a way that was authentic and genuine. By the end of those classes, I'd found a profession that allowed me to be my authentic self and still help people. I enjoy live music and spending time at the beach when I’m not with patients. I'm also an avid hockey and baseball fan – go NY Islanders and Mets!

I specialize in LGBTQIA+ adults and adolescents with attention to all intersecting identities and lived experience connected to race, ethnicity, religious background, immigration status, ability, socioeconomic status, and trauma history. Particularly in these upending times, I seek to provide a reliable healing space by helping clients find genuine, compassionate connection with oneself and others. Some of the ways I work with clients is to become aware of connections between current challenges and past experience, explore identities freely with attention to each person's unique circumstances, identify needs around interpersonal connection and boundaries, understand the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma, and foster hope for the future. I take my work very seriously, but also naturally use humor as a way to explore and connect. Therapy needs to be a safe space to be messy and broken, but can also be used for playful curiosity and creativity.

Finding the right support is one of the most important steps you can take for your mental health, and I'm here to help you take it. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in anxiety and mood disorders, I work with individuals navigating emotional, behavioral, and psychiatric challenges, offering medication management, treatment planning, and holistic, patient-centered care. My goal is to serve as an engaged and invested partner in your care, empowering you through education, support, and evidence-based treatment. I look forward to helping you gain confidence, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based care is the framework of my practice, as I’m deeply passionate about creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported in your mental health journey. With me, you can always expect a warm and welcoming environment where your goals and experiences shape the direction of our work together. Through personalized therapeutic techniques and medication management, we'll work to build insight, strengthen resilience, and improve your quality of life. Every approach is tailored to you, because no two journeys are the same. My path to becoming a PMHNP was shaped by years at the bedside as an RN, as well as three years in inpatient psychiatry. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and mental health, and reinforced my commitment to compassionate, whole-person care. The clinical perspective I developed in those settings informs every session. Understanding how the body and mind work together allows me to bring a more complete and holistic lens to your care. When I'm not seeing patients, you'll find me out for a run, exploring somewhere new, or recharging with friends and family. Time in nature and meaningful connections keep me grounded, and that same sense of balance and presence is something I strive to bring to my work with you.
