About Me

Hi there! Welcome to Empirical Embrace Counseling! My name is Erica and I am founder and lead therapist! I received my undergraduate degree from Belmont University in Nashville, TN and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Immaculata University. I have been working with clients since 2020 and obtained my Pennsylvania Licensure in 2023. I am also licensed to practice in New Jersey and Delaware!

​

Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family (particularly my niece), and my french bulldog, Beau! I also love to read, travel, binge watch TV shows, and listen to music (shoutout to my fellow Swifties!). I am also an adjunct professor at Immaculata University (in the same program I graduated from) teaching special topic courses like Eating Disorders and OCD. 

​

I became a therapist because I understand what it feels like to be in the throes of mental illness while also navigating the ups and downs of life - and how isolating that can be. I want all of my clients to feel safe when they are in the therapy room with me. I want them to know that they have me in their corner to support, guide, and advocate for them. My clients inspire me every. single. day. and I am truly passionate about my work. 

​

If you are interested in working with me, please email me at erica@empiricalembracecounseling.com. I would be honored at the opportunity to sit alongside you in this vulnerable space of therapy.
