Hi, I’m Erica!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who chose this work because I care deeply about supporting people who often feel misunderstood, overlooked, or expected to carry more than anyone realizes. My specialties—neurodivergent adults and first responders—come directly from my personal life, my relationships, and the people who have shaped me.

I grew up surrounded by neurodivergence, especially ADHD, and saw early on how much pressure, frustration, and exhaustion came from constantly trying to “fit” into systems that weren’t designed with neurodivergent people in mind. Seeing the relief that comes from being truly understood is what sparked my passion for neurodiversity-affirming work. Supporting neurodivergent adults feels not only natural for me, but deeply meaningful.

I also have a close personal connection to the first responder community as the wife of a first responder. I have seen firsthand how much strength, composure, and quiet resilience these roles demand, and how little space there often is to process the emotional weight that comes with the job. I understand the long hours, the unpredictability, the shift between work mode and home mode, and the way stress can build over time. This lived experience shapes how I show up for first responders; I approach the work with steadiness, respect, and an awareness of the unique challenges that come with life in emergency services.

These two groups may seem different, but they share something important: both are used to holding a lot inside and often have no place to put it down.
My goal is to create that place.
