With decades of nursing experience, Ericka has worked across many areas of healthcare, giving her a broad and practical view of patient care. Her career began in nursing and grew into advanced practice, where she now blends medical care, behavioral health, addiction treatment, and compassionate clinical leadership.

As both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Ericka understands that physical health and mental health are deeply connected. She believes patients deserve to be seen as individuals, not labels, and that effective treatment requires listening, respect, education, and partnership.

Ericka has a strong clinical focus in substance use disorder treatment and has taught at the state level on SUD and evidence-based treatment approaches. Her work reflects a commitment to reducing stigma, expanding access to care, and helping patients and families understand that recovery and wellness are possible.

Our team members have made significant contributions to their community.  Each one brings a unique set of skills and expertise to our practice.
