CHANGE STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP
And you’ve already taken it by being here.
Couples therapy isn’t about fixing the other person. It’s about turning inward and asking harder questions: What’s my part in this? What am I bringing into the relationship—consciously or unconsciously? Where have I shut down, checked out, or held back?
Couples therapy is challenging. It’s messy. It brings up things we would much rather avoid. But if you’re both willing to show up, to be vulnerable, to take responsibility, and to let yourselves be seen, then therapy becomes something else entirely.
It becomes a space for healing and growth. A space where deeper connection is actually possible.
Because here’s the truth: most couples don’t struggle because they’re fundamentally incompatible. They struggle because they’ve fallen into patterns—criticism, avoidance, shutdowns—that have gone unaddressed for too long. Over time, those patterns create distance, resentment, and confusion about what’s really going on.
It’s supposed to be hard. You’re supposed to feel uncomfortable. It’s supposed to bring up painful stuff that you’d honestly rather not deal with.
Show up anyway. That’s the work.
Therapy is a way back. Back to clarity. Back to trust. Back to each other.
I’m Erika. I work with couples who are ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start doing the work of real change.
It's not going to be a walk in the park. But it just might lead you somewhere more honest, more grounded, and more connected than you imagined was possible.
