While Psychiatry is her true passion, she loves being able to incorporate a comprehensive treatment plan using her background as an FNP. “My commitment to patient-centered care extends to addressing physical, emotional, and social well-being, ensuring my patients receive the highest quality healthcare in a holistic manner.” With a holistic approach to mental healthcare, she emphasizes the significance of addressing both the biological and psychological aspects of well-being.

She enjoys working with her clients to help them achieve the goals they are seeking, whether through medication alone or a combination of medication and psychotherapy. She believes it is important to help clients find a healthy perception of themselves to achieve overall mental wellness. She values her clients' input in their treatment plan as she believes this makes them the most successful. 

Erika enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and twin sons, as well as their Cavalier King Charles, Charley.
