Erica deconstructs the prevailing notion that contemporary feminism is the same as classical feminism. She also highlights our need to recognise the value and dignity of motherhood as a key — and yet often lost — expression of femininity.

A graduate of Georgetown and Columbia Universities and The New York Freudian Society, Erica is a psychological consultant bringing parenting and work/life workshops to clinics, schools, corporations, and childcare settings including The Garden House School, Goldman Sachs, Shearman, and Sterling and SWFS Early Childhood Center.

Erica is also the author of the book 'Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters.' Her upcoming book, Chicken Little The Sky Isn’t Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety will be released in Fall 2021.
