Welcome!
If you are reading this post, (1) you’ve been thinking about the state of your emotional and mental wellness and decided to take steps to improve or maintain it or (2) the state of someone else’s wellness came to mind.
Or (3) you stopped by to say, “Hey!” and show your support. 👋🏾
Whatever the reason, I’m glad you found your way here.
So...2019 marked 25 years of service in the mental health and social service fields for me. My career centered around the child welfare system in various settings including residential treatment, community-based mental health services and foster care/adoption resource agencies. This has afforded me extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I inadvertently commemorated this career milestone by shifting my focus to more holistic forms of treatment that consider the whole self of the individual and his/her/their place in the world. I draw from traditional counseling theories as the foundation of my work. I have also grown to place value in supporting my clients’ therapeutic needs through an individualized approach that includes establishing a trusting connection and developing an understanding of their existence via exploration of areas of their lives and experiences. I find this approach to be beneficial when working with the unique dynamics of the family unit as well. These are important tasks when doing such important work.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your wellness needs. I commend you for taking these first steps or thank you for stopping by.
I look forward to hearing from you all!
Erica
