Ericka became a provider after seeing the need for more continuance of care. She spent time working in the
ICU and Emergency Department as a nurse, and saw many people being re-admitted because they were not able to see their primary care providers in a timely manner. She wanted to help bridge the gap in health care and help patients maintain and improve their health status.
Ericka believes that genuine healthcare can truly help transform lives, both in the body and the mind. It is her goal to continue to work with her patients to improve their health and health practices, so they can continue to feel better about themselves while maintaining active lifestyles. She finds it very rewarding to help people and understands that, as a provider, she has the opportunity to provide comfort, care, education, empathy, and relief to those in need.
Ericka is married with 3 children. She loves spending time with her family listening to music and dancing. They also love to spend time outside playing and watching basketball, tennis, and soccer!
