Motivated to make a greater impact, she returned to Duquesne University to earn a Post-Master’s Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Her clinical experience spans a wide range of settings and populations—from pediatrics to geriatrics—allowing her to tailor care to meet each individual’s unique needs. She believes in working collaboratively with clients to determine the most effective path forward, whether that includes medication, therapy, or a combination of both.

She also enjoys traveling and being with family. She believes in the importance of self-care and taking time for personal well-being.

Erica’s approach to mental health is holistic, emphasizing the connection between physical, emotional, and psychological wellness. She is dedicated to helping clients achieve balance and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
