Human rights work is a passionate and noble cause, but as human rights officers we are confronted systematically with the worst that humanity has to offer. This human suffering sticks to the soul, but often we feel that we have no right to feel bad, as the suffering of the people we try to help is a thousand times worse. Erika has helped me to understand that many of the things I was going through could be linked to vicarious trauma and she reminded me that victims need empathy, but don’t want the people that accompany them to feel bad. As a principled advocate, you have to be strong and focused, which means you must take care of yourself. Throughout the years, Erika has become a fundamental pillar in my self-care, and we have managed to link some of the current challenges to structural, more dormant issues that are a result of my childhood. Erika has a gentle, warm, principled and understanding approach complemented with a great sense of humour. I would warmly recommend her support to everyone.

Erika is an amazing, super professional with empathy of five people. She helped me resolve some issues I thought were impossible to resolve. I am yet to discover the range of her knowledge, but so far it seems to me that there is no problem in the field of psychology she wouldn’t be able to resolve. I’ve spoken to several people in the past, but none of them was able to help me to this extent, not to mention the level of support I got. Thank you!!!!

Working with Erika has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From our very first session, Erika made me feel heard and supported in a way that gave me both comfort and clarity. The way she bridges her decades of professional experience and scientific knowledge with her compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgmental approach has helped me navigate some difficult challenges with new perspectives that I carry with me every day. She has created a safe space for honest reflection and growth, empowering me to let go of unhelpful patterns and embrace choices that align with my true self, in both my personal and professional life.
