“Erika was incredible. She listened to my story, my details, and anything I was willing to share. She made adjustments on the fly to make sure I could receive what I needed (same day) after I was in a difficult position from my previous care provider. I will be continuing care with her for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”

    Initially book with a different dr but they switched me to Erika. I advised of the meds I’ve been taking for 10+ years that has worked well. Erika recommended something different so I figured I would give it a try since she refused to keep me on the same meds. The recommended meds left me feeling depressed, sad, and wanting to sleep all day. I am going to see a different dr. now. I think if a patient is advising that the meds they’ve been taking for 10 years works then the dr shouldn’t change course if there weren’t any negative side affects. Didn’t feel heard with Erika. I do not recommend going to her but if you do, please advocate for yourself. I only noticed the bad reviews on Google after having my appointment.
    Erika was extremely helpful- I appreciated her taking the time to explain any questions I had. She was super clear and made me feel very comfortable.

    Absolutely a great intake session. Really blessed to have this person as my first point of contact after a long time of internally struggling to find the courage to sign up for a mental health based appointment.
    Verified patient
    I would recommend Erika to anyone and everyone. She was attentive and helpful. Erika was also courteous, welcoming, and displayed a level of professionalism that made me want to open up to her about my issues. 5 stars across the board.
