I help women who are done white-knuckling through jobs that look fine on paper but are stealing everything from them. Using vocational science, transferable skills mapping, and trauma-informed career strategy, we build a documented career direction based on who you actually are and not who you have had to be to survive.
If you are stuck in Sunday scaries, decision paralysis, or the loop of knowing you need to leave but feeling like you cannot, you are dysregulated. And there is a clear path out.
Your capability never left. Your clarity did. We get it back together.
"I came to Erika three months after leaving a job that had completely wrecked my confidence. I didn't know what I was good at anymore or what direction to go. After four weeks together I had a clear picture of my strengths, a list of career directions that actually fit me, and a 90-day plan I felt confident executing. For the first time in a long time I trusted myself again."Heather H. - Client

get to know me
Vocational Specialist | Master’s-Level Counseling Candidate | Career Reinvention Strategist
I spent 14 years in healthcare working across medical crisis response, women’s health, mobile crisis, trauma crisis advocacy, case management, and trauma-informed care. I know what it looks like when a job takes everything from a woman and leaves her questioning her own capability. I built this practice because career counseling is the most underserved area of the mental health and coaching world, and the women who need it most are the ones making every decision from desperation instead of direction. I am here to change that.
Let's put order in the chaos!
Master's in Mental Health Counseling Candidate, ICF coaching certification, ACER meaningful employment training, and 14 years across healthcare, crisis response, women's health, and trauma crisis. This is not coaching built on a weekend certification. It is built on clinical and vocational expertise.
I understand what a dysregulated workplace does to your nervous system, your confidence, and your decision-making. We address it, and then we move. This work is not about processing your pain indefinitely. It's about building your next move.
Holland Codes, transferable skills analysis, O*NET career matching, values mapping, and Career Decision Self-Efficacy frameworks. You get a documented skills and career profile, not a mood board and a pep talk.
Your career does not exist separately from your health, your rhythm, your nervous system, or your life. We build a direction that fits all of it, so you stop repeating the same patterns in a different building.
“I was still in the toxic job when we started working together, planning my exit, but terrified I would repeat the same mistake. Erika helped me figure out exactly what had gone wrong, what I actually needed in a workplace, and what my next move looked like strategically. I left with a plan, not just a prayer.” – Elli – Client
