Couples Therapy
Whether you have recently entered into a commitment or have been together for years, something many couples struggle with is maintaining open communication and a close bond when the daily routine of life takes over. Over time, individual partners grow and change, and sometimes couples need guidance on how to create the next chapter in their relationship.
Individual Therapy
One of the constants of life is growth and change, both as individuals and within our relationships. We all go through many transitions in life, and these events can bring about a wide range of emotions as we cope with the change that comes with them, and it can be helpful to have support along the way.
Prepmarital Therapy
We prep for many things in life, but often, couples don't spend time prepping for taking the next step to marriage. Investing in premarital therapy can help couples learn skills to be able to navigate inevitable changes that will come up throughout marriage.
Prepare/Enrich
Erica is a Prepare/Enrich facilitator. Prepare/Enrich is one of the leading premarital curriculum programs, and is backed by a great deal of research. As part of the process, each partner takes an assessment that will provide a snapshot of your relationship in various areas.​ You will then join Erica for a number of feedback sessions where she will help you focus in on the areas that are most relevant to you and learn skills to build a strong, healthy relationship.
Compassion Fatigue & Burnout
Erica is a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional (CCFP) and has been trained to work with individuals who are experiencing burnout and/or compassion fatigue due to their job as helping professionals or educators.
Family Therapy
As family members grow and change, communication and boundaries need to be adapted along the way. Erica helps families have open dialogue in order for members to better understand each others' needs as they go through life transitions, from childhood to adulthood.

Erica is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor in the state of Texas, making her eligible to provide clinical supervision for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associates in the state of Texas as they collect clinical hours towards full licensure. She has also been designated as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and has completed the requirements to be able to serve as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor Mentor to AAMFT Supervisor Candidates.
