Somatic EMDR & Relational Psychotherapy · Eagle Rock, Los Angeles
Insightful somatic therapy for adults and couples who crave emotional clarity and connection. Reconnect with your feelings, your body, and the people who matter — without giving up the thoughtful, independent nature that makes you who you are.
Does this sound familiar?
You might be the one who has always been the observer in your family. The quiet one. The responsible one. The one who notices everything but often feels unseen. Therapy can help you reconnect — while honoring the reflective, independent nature that got you this far.

How therapy helps
Healing happens not only through insight, but in the body — by learning how to feel, regulate, and stay present with yourself in moments of distress. Together we work in three movements.
Slow down and notice where you’ve disconnected from your feelings — in your history, your relationships, and your body’s own signals.
Practice expressing your needs and emotions safely, with no judgment and no pressure, until authenticity stops feeling like a risk.
Build trust, closeness, and more satisfying relationships, with greater steadiness in yourself and deeper connection to the people you love.
About Erika
How people relate. How emotions move through the body. How early experiences shape the way we connect. Growing up, I often felt like an observer and something of a black sheep in my own family, which sparked a lifelong curiosity about relationships, belonging, and what helps people feel truly understood.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade as a massage therapist and craniosacral therapist, where I learned firsthand that healing happens in the body, not just through insight. That mind-body thread runs through everything I do today.
Common questions
Click the Free Consultation button or reach out by phone or email to schedule a brief call where we can discuss what you’re needing and how we might work together. If it feels like a good fit, I’ll send intake paperwork through a secure portal where you can see your appointments and log in to virtual sessions. Those coming in person get a separate email with directions.
All sessions are 50 minutes and we meet weekly on an ongoing basis. This is a collaborative process: you have full autonomy to decide when you’ve met your goals, and we assess progress together along the way.
Individual and Somatic EMDR sessions are $225; couples sessions are $250. I don’t accept insurance directly, but I can provide a Superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I hold a set number of sliding-scale spots — please ask about availability.
Both. I offer virtual therapy across California and in-person therapy at my office in Eagle Rock, in Northeast Los Angeles.
