Hi, I’m Dr. Erica

As a neurodivergent clinical psychologist, I’m uniquely familiar with how executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, and sensory differences impact nearly every important area—and relationship—in life.

I help high-achieving humans who have spent years looking fine on the outside while working overtime to keep it all together.

They’re capable, accomplished, and completely exhausted.

Using a combination of psychoeducation, evidence-based skills, warmth, and humor, we’ll explore why life feels harder than it looks and build strategies that actually work for your brain..

Let's Work Together!

Areas of Expertise and Common Concerns

Executive Functioning Challenges: Difficulties with planning, prioritizing, initiating tasks, or following through can impact nearly every area of life (and are often underlying other disorders). Therapy focuses on providing psychoeducation, building on your strengths, reducing shame, and developing sustainable strategies to enhance daily functioning.

Emotion Dysregulation: When emotions feel unpredictable, overwhelming, or hard to control, it can be difficult to respond in ways that align with your values. We’ll work on slowing reactive cycles, building emotional insight, and creating space for more regulated and intentional responses.

Anxiety Disorders, Panic, and OCD: Chronic worry, panic symptoms, and intrusive and obsessive thoughts and behaviors can leave you feeling trapped. Evidenced based treatments support calming your nervous system, increasing flexibility, and breaking cycles and intensity of distressing OCD thoughts and behaviors.

Mood Disorders: Persistent sadness, loss of motivation, and emotional heaviness can make even basic tasks feel insurmountable. Therapy offers support in reconnecting with purpose, building emotional resilience, and identifying pathways to renewed energy.

Bipolar Disorder: Navigating fluctuations in mood, energy, and focus can be disorienting and isolating. We’ll create a space to enhance awareness, engage your support system, and strengthen coping and regulation strategies for greater stability.

Relationship & Attachment Issues: Whether you're struggling with intimacy, boundaries, or communication, therapy helps explore patterns in your relationships—past and present—and supports you in building healthier, more secure connections.

Personality Disorders: While often misunderstood or stigmatized, these patterns reflect deeper emotional and relational hurt and struggles. Together, we can help you achieve greater insight, self-understanding, and the development of more effective coping mechanisms.

PTSD & Complex Trauma (CPTSD): Unresolved trauma can affect how you think, feel, and relate to others. Therapy is trauma-informed and paced to support safety, trust, and a path toward healing that honors your individual story.

Perfectionism & Burnout: Unrelenting internal pressure can lead to exhaustion and disconnection. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving these patterns and work toward redefining success in ways that are sustainable and self-compassionate.

Life Transitions: Periods of transition—whether planned or unexpected—can bring both opportunity and stress. Therapy provides space to reflect, reorient, and move forward with intention and clarity.

If you’re not sure where your experience fits, that’s okay. You don’t need the perfect label to start. We’ll figure it out together.

And if it turns out I’m not the right fit? That’s okay too. My goal is to help you find care that feels affirming, effective, and supportive—whether that’s with me or through a thoughtful referral to someone who’s a better match.

MyApproach to Treatment

Collaborative

Therapy is most effective when it feels like a partnership. I view my role not as the expert on you, but an expert with you. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore what’s working, what’s not, and what’s possible. Your insights, feedback, and preferences at every step are essential in helping me individualize your treatment—we’re building this together.

Evidence Based

My approach is grounded in up-to-date, evidence-based care, with a deep respect for the science of brain-based differences and how they show up in real life. I’m intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through the Linehan Institute and am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. Over the years, I’ve also trained in a range of cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed approaches—tools that are especially effective for challenges like ADHD, emotion dysregulation, anxiety, trauma, and burnout.

Neuro-Affirming and Strength Based

I don’t view neurodivergence as a problem to be fixed, I see it as a way of being in the world that comes with real challenges and real brilliance. The ADHD brain, the autistic brain, the spicy, sparkly, sensitive, wired-a-bit-differently brain— it just needs the right context, tools, and support to thrive.

My goal is to help you understand yourself more clearly, work with your brain (not against it), and build a life that actually fits. We focus on what works for you, not what works for the average nervous system in a standardized world. I tailor my work to each client’s goals, needs, and lived experience. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and rooted in what actually works.

FAQ

  • I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to use their out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement for sessions.

  • Each month I will provide you with a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance provider. Super bills are sent monthly, on the 1st of each month. Depending on your plan, they may reimburse you a percentage of the session fee after you've met your out-of-network deductible. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask:

    • Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health?

    • What is my deductible, and how much of it have I met?

    • What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed?

    • Are there any limits to the number of sessions covered?

    If this sounds confusing—don’t worry, Im happy to help guide you through the process.

  • Yes! I provide virtual therapy to residents of New York via secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

  • That’s okay—therapy is a big step, and it’s normal to feel uncertain. I’m happy to answer questions or help you find someone who might be a better fit. My goal is for you to get the support you need, wherever that may be.
