About Me
Hello and welcome. My name is Erica. I’m so glad you’ve taken the step to explore counseling, whether for yourself, your family, or your relationship. I truly believe that, from time to time, everyone can benefit from some guidance and support in navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with grief, trauma, attachment issues, or adjusting to new phases of life, I am here to help you on your journey toward healing and growth.
I work from a Christian perspective, blending faith with proven therapeutic approaches to provide a compassionate and holistic experience. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space for individuals, families, and couples of all ages to work through life’s obstacles and come out stronger on the other side.
I have the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, and families, addressing a variety of concerns. Whether you’re seeking help with grief, trauma recovery, relationship struggles, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, or navigating major life transitions, I am here to walk alongside you with empathy and care.
For couples, I offer pre-marital counseling to help you start your journey together on a strong foundation, and relationship counseling to help couples deepen their connection, improve communication, and overcome difficulties. For families, I provide support in strengthening bonds, resolving conflicts, and improving communication. For individuals, I help you grow through the struggles of self-doubt, anxiety, life changes, and personal growth.
No matter your age or situation, I believe in your capacity for healing and growth. Together, we will work toward understanding, healing, and becoming the best version of yourself. Thank you for trusting me with your story and your heart.
Services
Play Therapy
$125.00 per 50 min session
I understand that children often express themselves best through play. My play therapy services are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where children can explore their feelings, build coping skills, and work through difficult emotions in a creative and engaging way. Play therapy helps children process experiences that may be too complex or overwhelming to put into words.
What to Expect in Play Therapy:
A warm and inviting space with a variety of toys, games, art materials, and activities that encourage expression and problem-solving.
A therapist who is trained in using play as a therapeutic tool to help children understand and process their emotions.
Techniques that help children express themselves, build resilience, develop social skills, and overcome challenges like grief, trauma, anxiety, and behavioral issues.
Common Areas I Address with Play Therapy:
Anxiety and stress
Grief and loss
Behavioral challenges
Trauma and abuse recovery
Adjustment to life changes (e.g., divorce, moving, new school)
Self-esteem and social skills
Family dynamics and conflict
Play therapy is not only effective for children but can also be a powerful way to involve families in the therapeutic process. If you’re seeking support for your child, play therapy may be the compassionate and effective approach to help them heal, grow, and thrive.
Individual Therapy for Teens and Adults
$125.00 per 50 minute session
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it’s okay to ask for help. At Guided Growth, I offer individual counseling that provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you’re facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or just need support through life’s transitions, we’re here to help you find clarity, healing, and growth at your own pace.
What I Offer:
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This evidence-based therapy is particularly effective for those dealing with trauma, PTSD, and other distressing experiences. EMDR helps you process and reframe negative memories, allowing for emotional healing and a sense of peace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): If you’re struggling with negative thought patterns or emotions, CBT can help you shift to healthier, more constructive thinking and behavior.
Stress and Anxiety Management: Learn practical tools and techniques to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and regain a sense of control over your life.
Grief and Loss Support: Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a job, or a major life transition, we’ll help you process your grief in a way that’s gentle and healing.
Self-Esteem and Personal Growth: Together, we’ll work on building your confidence and self-worth, helping you discover and embrace your true potential.
Your Journey, Your Pace
Everyone’s journey is unique, and healing takes time. Whether you’re looking to overcome past trauma, navigate difficult emotions, or simply find peace and balance in your life, we’re committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
