Meet Ericka
Licensed Mental Health Counselor | Certified Play Therapist | Feelings Artist
I am a Brazilian-American psychotherapist—heart-centered, authentic, and deeply connected to the rhythms of life. Alongside my clinical work, I serve as a Qualified Supervisor for mental health counselors intern in Florida, guiding future therapists as they grow into their craft.My work is more than therapy; it’s alchemy. Together, we’ll transform pain into poetry, confusion into clarity, and wounds into wisdom.
How I Heal
I blend Person-Centered, Adlerian, and Gestalt therapies with expressive arts, sand tray, Psychodrama and play therapy—because some feelings need to be painted, sculpted, or danced before they can be spoken. My approach is holistic, honoring mind, body, and spirit.
Who I Work With
– Adults, teens, and children navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma
– Those grieving losses—of people, dreams, or identities
– Cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers facing fear and uncertainty
– Adoptees and families untangling complex stories
– Anyone craving a therapist who feels with you, not just listens
Supporting Therapists & Future Clinicians
In addition to working with clients, I am a Qualified Supervisor for mental health counseling interns in Florida. I love mentoring new therapists as they find their voice, strengthen their skills, and step fully into their role as healers. Supervision with me is both grounding and creative—we honor the clinical while leaving room for intuition, artistry, and soul.
My Roots
Born on Brazil’s northeast coast, I carry the ocean’s resilience and the sun’s warmth into my practice. When I’m not therapizing, you’ll find me creating art, hugging trees, or laughing with my loved ones.
Hugs,
Ericka
