Erika and Anxious Female has helped me grow in so many aspects of my life. I wasn’t able to really begin to heal from past traumas until I gave myself permission to slow down and be okay with experiencing the feelings caused from those traumas. For so long I had been distracting myself by overworking. I believed that any “negative” feelings I had needed to be immediately dismissed. With help from Erika, I began to understand the importance of acknowledging those emotions and then releasing them. I started to give myself permission to put up boundaries, stop my self-sacrificing habits and be okay with loving myself just how I am through this process of healing and growth. While I still have a ways to go, I finally feel as though I’m coming back to my true self.

I am so glad that Erika and I crossed paths. She is an amazing listener and I have been able to be very vulnerable and open with her because of her nonjudgemental attitude and her unequivocal ability to empathize with what I am going through. She preaches self-compassion and it is relatable not just because she has a masters in psychology and is super intelligent, but because she has done an immense amount of work on healing her own anxiety and trauma. We have covered a wide variety of topics including body image, childhood trauma, relationships, anxiety and more, and I always leave our conversations with a more positive attitude, a greater understanding of myself, and most importantly, the sense that I am not alone. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to work on anxiety, healing their trauma, and self-development. She is the best!

Erika helped me through a very tough time in my life. I was battling an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, and overall hatred of the skin I was in. She not only provided me with immense support, but also great empathy and made it known that I would get through this tough time. She was one of the only people I could express to how I was truly feeling, and for that I am forever grateful. Her knowledge, guidance, and support is the reason I was able to overcome my eating disorder. She helped me understand and resolve what was below my eating disorder.

The idea of therapy/counseling always terrified me. It was so far out of my comfort zone to discuss my feelings in general, let alone with a stranger, but I am so happy I decided to book that initial call with Erika. Immediately, I felt so comfortable opening up. It felt like I was talking with a close, trusted friend. In the past I’ve struggled with naming, accepting and trusting my emotions, but Erika has been invaluable in helping me work through this as well as my anxieties. She makes me feel heard and validated. She is understanding, compassionate and offers a variety of tools to help you along through your healing. I always look forward to our sessions and walk away with such valuable insights. I owe the majority of my healing to her. You will be in such caring, transformative hands with Erika!
