She employs an eclectic methodology, seamlessly blending reality therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), and human-centered approaches. This versatile toolkit allows her to tailor her sessions to each individual's unique circumstances and goals. Erica's practice is built on the foundational belief that therapy should be a collaborative journey of skill-building, insight development, and the challenging of distorted core beliefs.

Serving clients ranging from adolescents (16-18) to adults, Erica offers her services at both the Lawrenceville and Monroeville locations of Calm Pittsburgh, as well as through virtual sessions. Her flexible approach ensures that therapy is accessible and tailored to the comfort and needs of each individual. While currently maintaining a waitlist for new clients, Erica's comprehensive and compassionate approach to mental health and sexual wellness continues to make her a sought-after therapist in the Pittsburgh area.
