““There’s something markedly exceptional about Erica. She believes us. Even though she didn’t grow up like we did, she believes us. She believes our stories, our traumas, our struggles. And she likes us. She genuinely likes us. For those of us who grew up in high control religion and purity culture, I think we are familiar with our stories being doubted, questioned, or corrected. The deep insecurities we have carried since childhood, that we simply are not accepted or liked for who we are because of the questions we ask, the hesitancies we’ve felt, the doubts we’ve expressed, the struggles we cannot seem to overcome, or our sexual curiosities? Erica meets them all, meet us all, right where we are. She does so with unfettered welcome and kindness and gentleness. We’re not a project or an agenda or a cause to save. We’re people with a lot of fuckin’ baggage, and she offers a safe, steady place to bring it to the table. Our vulnerabilities and fears and desires are held carefully. I simply cannot say enough about how good she is.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for all of the work you do. I'm sure you get this all the time, but the one session you and I had years ago was incredibly eye opening for me and truly changed my life. You are doing amazing work, there is an authenticity that you seem to be grounded in in your work that is so rare, and I've tried to send so many of my friends your way who were raised in purity culture, or even came into contact with it briefly. I just wanted you to know you are so appreciated in this crazy world and that you've made such a difference in so many people's lives, already.”

“I really appreciate the thought you put into the homework and feedback you give to me, and I just want to commend you for what you do. It is such a joy to chat with you. The safe space you create to discuss challenging topics has been really wonderful for me and I can only imagine how many other people have been helped. And the enthusiasm and positivity you bring has really increased my confidence and been soooo helpful to me in making things happen with my wife. So thank you!”

“After an extremely traumatizing gynecological visit I sought out Erica for a one on one session. I was looking for some coaching, education, and help shifting my perspective and could not have been more pleased with my experience. Erica was compassionate, made me feel safe and seen, and most importantly put me at ease. Sex education, especially when I was in high school, was a horrible mix of barely there information blended with fear and shame. The work that Erica does is so important in that it really helps bridge the gap. She provides an environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and know that the answers will be informative, but not fear inducing. If you’re struggling with anything sex related I highly suggest you book a session or join one of her group programs. It’s just an incredible act of self investment and love! I could not recommend her healing and coaching enough!”

“It was so great talking to you too! I got really emotional afterwards thinking about how impactful you’ve been in my life and how cool it was to talk to you a year later and see how far I’ve come.  I truly feel so much more equipped to have difficult conversations around sex, and to figure out what I want and communicate it clearly because of you.”

"Erica's knowledge and expertise is not only incredibly valuable, but she makes the conversations very comfortable and adds an extra sense of normalcy to a topic that is rather taboo in our society. She helped us navigate some challenging topics with our son who is on the autism spectrum. She helped us feel more confident in navigating sex and sexuality with him in a way that he can understand and process as well as build trust between us so he feels comfortable to ask questions or voice his concerns. Thank you, Erica!!"

“I had the pleasure of speaking with Erica on two separate occasions. Even though we'd never met, she had the ability to immediately make me feel comfortable. She provided a very professional, warm, judgement-free zone for me to share my concerns and ask questions. She is very very knowledgeable in her field, she answered all my questions and put my fears at ease. She provided me with some valuable tools to help me continue exploring my sexuality.”

“As a therapist who has been in my own therapy for many years, I was skeptical about how much I would get out of working with Erica. I had no idea what an impact she would have on me and my work. I was blown away by how valuable this offer truly is. Erica works very specifically on your goals based on where you are at. She has a huge amount of knowledge and resources at her disposal to help peel back layers of societal, religious, and familial conditioning. At the end, I felt as though she had waved some magic wand and suddenly I could see subtle signs everywhere of how I was being conditioned to put myself and my own pleasure last. Her work has truly changed how I see and treat myself, how I work with my therapy clients, how I parent my son and daughter, and the pleasure from my sex life. Joining her Purity Culture Dropout™ program is an investment in your well-being. I cannot recommend it enough.”

”When I started PCD I was hoping to get the sex ed that I didn't receive growing up, instead I got a life changing experience. Erica is extremely knowledge, open to any question, and never made me feel embarrassed, ashamed or self conscious. Her individual learning plan allowed our discussions to cover a wide variety of topics, and left space for unplanned discussions. PCD taught me so much beyond what I was expecting. Her course taught me how to evaluate my beliefs, to keep the parts I want, drop the what no longer fits and that its okay for my beliefs room change. Working with Erica through her PCD course is one the best things that I have ever done for myself, there are not words to express the new paths in life this work has opened up for me.”

“If you feel like you’re ready to do the work, I promise that the Purity Culture Dropout™ program is well worth your time. Erica challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, and each week I was surprised not only by how personalized the assignments and resources she gave me were, but also that I could continue learning from the material even after the program was done. Even when tackling difficult subject matters, I looked forward to each call with Erica. The Purity Culture Dropout™ program helped me confidently determine my values when it came to sex, reclaim my sexuality, and overall embrace the idea that everyone deserves to have a positive, pleasurable relationship with sex and sexual desire. I loved my time with Erica, and I know I’ll be working with her again in the future.”

“Working with Erica was super amazing! I loved how it felt so easy talking to her. I appreciated how she was nonjudgmental and genuinely cared about me and my growth! Overall, she was prompt with communication and created assignments and activities that were personalized for me. I felt like she was my cheerleader every step of the way and love how we've still been able to keep in touch after the program. I knew that I put in the work, I would change; however, I did not really know how much I would shift my beliefs and values to be in alignment with what I actually believe. It's also been rewarding to put those values into practice and give myself permission to explore the fluidity of my sexuality and advocate for my needs without feeling guilty. While it is still uncomfortable, I feel that Erica has given me the tools to start to embrace my authentic self. Currently I'm in a place in my life where I want to learn more about ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous relationships, and I definitely wouldn't have given myself permission to explore without this program."

“Working with Erica helped me to begin to deprogram much of my Purity Culture thinking. It helped me to ask questions, including, what do I like? Maybe I'm queer? Maybe I'm asexual? Maybe i want to have sex and maybe sometimes I don't? What's BDSM about and am I into it? How do I deal with an STI? How do I communicate with my partner(s)? But the most important thing that I learned (and am still learning to be honest) is that there is nothing wrong with me.

I highly recommend Erica and the amazing education that she provides, and the amazing Purity Culture Dropout™ program. I am light years beyond where I imagined I could be in terms of sexuality and dating. She is also fun, easy to talk to, nonjudgemental, curious, good-hearted, smart, and insightful. This program will probably kick your butt, but in the best way possible. :)”

“I wanted to do PCD but was a little hesitant about whether a month would really make a dent in 40+ years of purity culture front and center. In short, it did. Erica is open, kind, never judgmental, and a total pro. Setting aside dedicated time to reflect on my history, do her thought-provoking homework, and dissect some of the BS I’ve internalized has given me new confidence in parenting and in my marriage. It’s lifelong work, this knowing myself and growing, and time with Erica definitely kick-started it and gave it momentum. Highly recommended.”

“The Sexual Assault Resource Coordinator (SARC) team and our colleagues at Villanova found Erica to be approachable, knowledgeable and engaging in our training on working with LGBTQI+ students on our campus. Understanding the intersectionality between sexual violence and the LGBTQI+ community has sharpened our collective sense of how to reduce barriers and create a more inclusive community for survivors. We are grateful to Erica for bringing perspective to our conversations on campus.”

-SA, Villanova University

“Looking back over the time I spent with Erica, I’m in a totally different (better!) place about myself and my sex life. Not only do I have more confidence, but I have actionable steps and resources to keep moving forward. Erica is kind, understanding, open-minded, and easy to talk to. No topic or question is off-limits. She is very supportive and invested in helping her clients achieve their goals. I highly recommend working with Erica.”

“Working with Erica during Purity Culture Drop Out was a major game changer for me. She provided a comfortable, safe, open space for me to work through issues and identify damaging programming that I wasn’t even aware of! The safe space Erica created allowed me to ask all the questions that I’ve never felt comfortable asking before and being able to do that without shame was so empowering. Erica is knowledgeable, eloquent and hilarious, making my sessions feel like I was hanging out with a kick ass girlfriend who also happens to be smart AF and know everything about sex. I learned more about myself than I could have hoped for and I feel more confident and grounded and free from the heavy shame that I have carried with me for years. I also gained skills to create a shame free environment for my kids helping to stop the vicious Purity Culture cycle. I’m so glad that I invested in this program!”

“We had our Inclusion Training last night with Erica, and she was fantastic. I really can't speak highly enough about her and her program. She tailored the presentation to our needs while still including a lot of '101' info for those who have not been exposed or educated on the LGBTQ+ community. She is obviously extremely knowledgeable and experienced, but also down to earth and approachable. Thank you again for connecting me with Erica”

“I will use the information provided by Erica and the PCD materials throughout the rest of my life.  PCD was my first true follow-my-gut decision for self advocacy while in the midst of reconciling the influences of purity culture on my life – zero regrets.  PCD allowed me to remove the taboo from so many topics to genuinely learn about them and decide for myself what fits and what doesn’t.  It’s also given me invaluable resources and reflections to know myself better and be equipped for communication and self advocacy in my future sexual experiences.  PCD is safe, neutral, respectful, positive, supportive, customized education.  Come with your beliefs, questions, and curiosity and Erica will meet you with a smile and a secure space for learning and exploration.”

I signed up for a personal consultation with Erica because I felt she was the absolute best fit for my consulting need - and she sure was! Erica went above and beyond by assisting me with a personal statement for graduate school at Widener U. Erica also consulted on possible interview questions and answered any other questions I had about graduate school. And amazing to say - I got in!! Definitely thanks to Erica's help. I'd HIGHLY recommend her for your sex ed needs!

"I became a sexual health educator at my local Planned Parenthood and reached out to Erica for professional guidance. I had zero training, was experiencing severe mental health problems, and wanted to quit my job after only a few months. When Erica advertised that she would be doing professional consults online, I emailed her immediately. 

My tears were flowing within the first ten minutes of our initial consultation because it felt like talking to a trusted mentor and coworker.”

“With Erica I was safe, supported, and validated. She understood the challenges of working for a non-profit and provided encouragement, helped me set goals, sent me pages of notes, and reviewed my lesson plans. Her professional expertise and guidance enabled me to adapt my sexual health sessions to be trauma-informed and inclusive for young people who might be marginalized and 2SLGBTQ+. After only three monthly sessions, I felt more confident as an educator and was getting great feedback from my audience. Her advice helped me have better boundaries at work and in my personal life. I would highly recommend working with Erica to anyone looking to improve their skills as a sexual health educator.”
