Meet Ericca
Welcome, beloved person of God.
My name is Ericca and I am the founder of Salted Grace Ministries. If you are still here reading, you may be somewhat like I was in the past, wondering about the possibility of living a life fully immersed in love, hope, truth and restoration – especially while carrying the weight of painful experiences, shame, or trauma. If so, I encourage you to keep reading.
Like you, I've experienced the fear of being vulnerable, the silence of suffering in isolation, and what it feels like to be emotionally overwhelmed with no coping mechanism.
Yet, I have also experienced the transformative power of honest, totally real and authentic, encounters with Jesus. I have come to know how His love and truth set us free, and how practical tools and God-given resources support lasting transformation, resilience and overall mental health and well-being.
The truth is that this ministry was born out of my own healing journey through trauma, pain, and deep personal suffering. It's been shaped not only by my professional and ministerial training, but by real-life experiences that taught me the importance of integrating my faith in Christ Jesus with mental health and emotional wellness.
I know what it’s like to avoid the healing journey out of fear – fear of exposure, fear of rejection, fear of facing pain. I’ve lived through the isolation of shame. If you’re anything like I was, healing in isolation can feel like undergoing surgery without anesthesia – raw, overwhelming, and at times, seemingly unbearable.
That’s why it’s my sacred honor to walk alongside others through their own healing journey. I’m committed to creating safe and sacred spaces where shame is silenced, voices are restored and lies lose their power. I believe God has raised me from the ashes of my own painful experiences to help set others free – free from the emotional bondage created through painful experiences and suffering.
For nearly three decades, I’ve walked with individuals and families through life’s hardest moments – often while navigating my own. I’ve seen firsthand how unresolved trauma does not just fade with time. It festers, infecting every aspect of our lives – our ability to relate well with God, others, and even ourselves. It shows up as isolation, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or deep feelings of rejection and insecurity hidden behind the vail of overachievement. Meanwhile we suffer silently beneath the surface. Yet still…
There is hope for healing.
The Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Once healed, we get to partner with Jesus to bring that same healing to others. Today, I am able to combine my personal, professional, and ministerial experiences to help others find hope, experience healing, and discover the resilience available in restoration - empowering all we serve to become the resilient people of God you were created to be.
Today, I get to serve and steward this wonderful ministry as a Minister, Biblical Counselor, Christian Mental Health Life Coach, Transformational Teacher and Speaker. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, Christ-centered approach that connects faith, mental health and emotional well-being for individuals, families, and communities, particularly those in underserved areas.
I believe true healing is far more than the mere absence of mental illness but rather the deep restoration of the heart – mind, will and emotions – that leads us forward in love, hope, truth and resilient strength. True healing provides courageous audacity to be well in Christ Jesus. It reveals the profound truth that we are beloved of God, redeemed by Jesus, and infused with the passionate fires of purpose, that once ignited, cannot be denied.
There is hope for healing in Christ Jesus and He made it is available just for you. The only question that remains is: Will you be healed? You don't have to do it alone. We're here to journey with you.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed, we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.”
~ 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
