There are definitely things that we can do in service of our own healing and growth but I tend to believe that there aren’t really answers or solutions to things, nor does there need to be, but instead ways of looking at them and holding them so that we can be in better relationship with them. I believe we can offer ourselves a perspective that can turn situations, circumstances, feelings, relationships with others and the relationship with ourselves into dance partners, instead of opponents that need to be defeated, not allowed or kept down. We can invite all of our experiences onto the dance floor of our heart! As a human being we will sometimes dance with incredible Grace and at other times be quite clumsy. We are allowed, we are human! If we allow ourselves to move with humor, patience, understanding and forgiveness we can recognize that our life’s dance can truly be Blessed and beautiful!
Quite simply offering behavioral, emotional and relational support to young people, individuals and families on their journeys. Providing a strength based approach in which warmth, patience, humility, humor and sincere reflection nurture the already existing health and strength within each human being. Since 2012 I have been Blessed with being able to provide therapeutic support to children, adolescents, adults and families in my role as a youth and family therapist. I would be honored to provide any support or therapeutic accompaniment I can offer to assist you on your path of healing, personal growth, individual unfoldment or just surfing the waves of life. I look forward to working with you. Thank you so much! Eric

Eric has really helped me understand my emotions and how to deal with them. He’s very kind and listens to me and isn’t judging he offers clear ideas and how to explore them. He’s been a huge help.

I found myself a true gem with Eric. I was in a really low spot mentally and Eric was the comfort and conversation I needed to get me by. We’ve shared so many highs and lows to date and I always look forward to my chats with him. I usually come out of my appointments feeling uplifted, understood, and empowered to take action. I usually end our chats racing to my notebook and messaging my best friend about the key takeaways I just learned. Even on good days, I enjoy our conversations and consider Eric a key component of not only my healing journey, but also my life journey.

Eric has been such an incredible and vital support to me in these recently trying and difficult times. From our very first session, he created an atmosphere of unparalleled kindness and patience that made me feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.
Eric possesses an extraordinary ability to foster a safe space where I could openly discuss my challenges without fear of judgment. He consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of empathy, never once making me feel inadequate or less than. This compassionate approach allowed me to explore my thoughts and emotions with a sense of validation that was truly empowering.
His commitment to helping me develop healthier coping mechanisms, become more patient and gentler with myself, and the practical strategies and guidance that we worked on together have proven instrumental in my personal growth journey. It’s evident that Eric is deeply invested in the well-being of his clients, going above and beyond to ensure that each session contributes to positive and lasting change.
In Eric, I have found not only a skilled professional but also a genuine ally in my pursuit of mental and emotional well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist who combines expertise with a truly compassionate and understanding nature.
Thank you, Eric, for being an integral part of my transformative journey so far. I look forward to seeing you again when I can rejoin BetterHelp and continuing the journey with you!

I’ve been going to therapy with Eric for about a year, and can honestly say that his support and effort has been foundational in the personal growth I’ve experienced over that time. His skill as a therapist is overshadowed only by his quality as a person, which is genuinely second to none. He someone manages to blend sincere empathy while not discounting my own responsibility, which has been incredibly helpful for me to have a space of unconditional positive regard that equally helps me to uncover the control I have over my life. I would 100% recommend Eric to anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, a poor sense of self, anger management and generally looking to find some emotional well-being.
