What clients say
- “She amazing”
- “Erica is amazing. From day 1 I’ve been able to open up to her and discuss things that I don’t normally share. As time goes by I get more and more comfortable. She’s given me helpful tools and feedback to assist with certain issues and situations. I wasn’t sure therapy was for me but Erica has changed my mind completely.”
- “Welcoming”

- “Erica is amazing! My husband and I have only had a few sessions with her, but she is by far the best therapist we’ve worked with. She truly listens and has such a down-to-earth approach, which makes it very comfortable to open up. We genuinely look forward to our sessions with her, and that says a lot!”
- “Dr. Burns is kind and ask the right questions. Having therapy with her has helped me think about new ways to better navigate my emotions and communicate my needs in my relationship and also be more open with my partner”
