Hey! I’m Ericka

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado and also hold a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) license in Washington for virtual services. With a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Adams State University, I’m dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and person-centered therapy. These approaches allow me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, promoting emotional acceptance, processing trauma, and fostering a strong therapeutic alliance. By integrating these modalities, I aim to empower you on your journey to healing and personal growth.

I create a safe, affirming space for all clients, including those from the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. My holistic approach embraces emotions, helping you accept them as part of your journey. I’ll provide tools and resources to support your healing both in and out of our sessions.

Since moving to Colorado Springs in 2017, I’ve enjoyed rock climbing, camping, and distance running, which keep me grounded and connected. If you’re ready to explore what’s possible for your future, I’d be honored to support you on that path. Let’s take the next step together!
