I guess it's no surprise that my having a first name with The Caring Rescuer archetype I chose a career as a psychotherapist. I love the work I do but was having trouble being too much of a rescuer of others and not looking out for my own interests professionally. In other words, I had a trend in my practice where I allowed way too many people to receive my services for free. Wanting help stepping into my personal power I contacted Maryanna about a name change. Didn't want anything drastically different, just a spelling that would help me say no when I needed to do so.  I decided to go from "Erica" to "Erika" and after the change was made legal, I noticed a huge positive difference in how I feel while interacting with others, both with my clients and friends and family.  So grateful for the new me!

Like many people, I struggled with what I wanted to be when I grew up. My Dad was an amazing accountant and when he encouraged me to be one too, I decided to follow in his footsteps and get my college degree in accounting. Doing great in my studies, I graduated with honors and immediately got a super job in a top-notch accounting firm. Just two years into that job I knew I was miserable but couldn't figure out why. After a series of coaching sessions with Maryanna, I realized I had never been cut out to be an accountant. Yet how could I change my career path without disappointing my Dad and wasting my degree? Maryanna helped me find my voice and purpose, and now I am thrilled to be working for a non-profit organization where I get to be the exceptional people-person I always knew I was deep inside.

After going through medical school I got a job in a clinic as an associate doctor. While I was extremely excited about helping people regain their health I was continually doubting my abilities. My work with Maryanna helped me get in touch with all the reasons I chose to be a doctor and in the process of my newly realized discoveries, I began to gain confidence daily. My new outlook also helped me shift my old dating patterns that had me going through one failed relationship after another. Now, not only have I found a great guy, I am a lot more skilled in my communication with him than I was with past partners. Feels good to know I can be with a significant other and not give up who I am!
