Connection Counseling

Hi! I'm Erica, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which can look like a lot of things. Ultimately, I work with you to help create a safe space for transformative healing and change through revealing the power of vulnerability within your relationships (including the one with yourself). I listen to you (like, really listen) and reveal skills on learning how to listen more effectively too.

Do you and your partner find yourselves in the same cycle of fighting over seemingly meaningless things? It can feel like you're in a relationship with a different partner or someone that you don't even know anymore. The arguments seem to happen more frequently and feel more intense. This leads to resentment and anger, which only continues the argumentative cycle.

It can be difficult presenting having it all together to everyone else, but secretly struggling with self-doubt and not feeling good enough. This doubt creates a persona of a 'people pleaser' who consistently quiets their wants and needs to cater to everyone else's. The idea of "earning" others' affection and love is something that is familiar to you.

Erica has been extremely helpful. We look forward to our weekly sessions. Both my wife and I have a better understanding of each other since we started doing sessions with Erica and also worked out things that have bothered us for a long time. Erica is grounded and kind in her approach and creates a excellent foundation for healthy communication while still maintaining each of us feeling seen and heard in our needs.

I deeply believe in the emotional and financial value of therapy. I also acknowledge that it can be cost-prohibitive to pay out-of-pocket, even on a sliding scale, in an expensive city like New York.
