I was born into a military family; both my mom and dad were in the US Navy. While starting as a Navy brat, I decided to enlist in the U.S. Army. After leaving the Army, I continued my passion for public service as an EMT 1-A (aka ambulance driver) before spending 28 years in law enforcement. With a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, my education continued with a graduate degree in Organizational Leadership, as well as one in Psychology from Chapman University. I am currently licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). My career and life experiences have offered me a unique ability to connect with people from various communities to include the military, first responder, religious, and civilian communities. My clinical experience includes individuals, couples, families, facilitating parenting classes as well as court ordered domestic violence perpetrators classes. I have also facilitated group debriefings after critical incidents. Life’s experiences can create unseen compounding problems resulting in depression, substance use, fear, anxiety, grief, anger, and trauma to name a few. It’s okay to not be okay, but it is not okay to suffer. Let’s talk.

As many great chefs use a pinch of this and a little of that, I use a variety of modalities to help you achieve the best you, to include Cognitive Behavior, Client Centered, Solution Focused, Narrative, Psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR.

Erika Taylor has been the best therapist I’ve ever had. She truly heard my concerns and challenges I was going through. On top of just hearing me out she took notes and gave me tools to work through and she would follow them up the following session to make sure I understood what my homework was and if it helped me out. She definitely took notes and every concern that I had we spoke on. She is amazing and truly is there to help her clients. She helped me greatly and I feel I can continue to grow and face any challenges in my future and not be dependent on anyone but myself. Thank you for your services and support.
