Eric is honestly AMAZING! He is so kind and compassionate, and really helps me process and work through things at a pace I’m comfortable with. I feel safe to dive into issues I have always avoided, and I feel at ease enough to let my guard down. I 10/10 recommend him!!!!

Eric is not only a great listener but a great person to just have a conversation with. He’s attentive and respectful. He remembers things we talked about months ago. He’s always asking the right questions.

I’m very fortunate to have connected with Eric. We’ve been meeting on and off for the last few years. He really makes me feel comfortable and move at my own pace while being respectful of what topics need to be discussed throughout our sessions. Eric has really made a positive impact on my life and he has turned my perspective around on therapy and how people can genuinely benefit from it. I would recommend Eric to any young guy who may be hesitant to find a good fit for a counsellor because he’ll be able to create a safe and productive space for anyone to feel comfortable sharing. Thanks for everything Eric!

Eric and I have had productive meetings. Moreover, I'm enjoying him.

Written on Apr 24, 2024 after therapy with Eric for 2 weeks on issues concerning family conflicts, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

I’ve spent the last year actually forming a trusting relationship with Eric. I moved away from home to a place I knew nobody and took on challenges I hadn’t encountered before and felt alone especially after recent and multiple heartbreaks. But being able to talk to Eric every week was reassuring and confidence building. I appreciate his very laid back and empathetic style of listening. It’s like talking to your favorite uncle or cousin or even sibling depending on who you are but he feels like a familial soul. He’s very non-judgemental and he takes excellent notes. I think if you give this a chance you will feel the same and really get good use out of therapy. Otherwise, why are you here? Forever grateful to Eric for getting me through and onward. I consider him a friend.

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.

Written on Jan 05, 2024 after therapy with Eric for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

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.

Written on Jan 04, 2024 after therapy with Eric for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

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!

Written on Oct 31, 2023 after therapy with Eric for 1 year and 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes

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.

Written on Oct 21, 2023 after therapy with Eric for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and adhd

Eric is truly a joy to work with. He meets you where you are, and knows well what kinda input one needs at different phases of their journey. He's very resourceful, and not to forget his listening skill - he truly hears not only what you are saying, but also reads between the lines, connects previous statements with current ones, and points out possible blindspots.

Much recommended!

Eric has been a great therapist for me. He's very understanding and gentle and offers safe space where I don't feel judged for being human and making human decisions and having human feelings and emotions. That's been important to me and my healing and my willingness to stay in therapy. Our dialogue has been an eye opening as well where it allows me to see things from outside of my own perspective. Overall my experience with Eric has been a positive one

Eric is an extremely gifted therapist. I have felt genuinely heard and seen through out my journey. He listens and provides the most insightful and compassionate feedback. After every session I was left with clarity and hope that has been missing in my life. So grateful I got matched with him after a few unsuccessful matches.

Written on Feb 12, 2023 after therapy with Eric for 2 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, self esteem, and career difficulties

Eric is the best therapist I've ever worked with. Very attentive, listens carefully and cares deeply.
His advices are genuine and wise and he's very sensitive on how to deliver them carefully and appropriately, choosing the right words.
Plus he has a funny approach that makes heavy topics lighter without devaluing it.

You can talk to him about anything literally, and he will always listen, appreciate and try to help as much as he can.

I've been working with him for almost 6 months now, he helped me massively, and I'm willing to continue.

After years of trial and error with therapy, I’m happy to have found such a skilled, professional, and engaged therapist who is truly in his element. Eric has a deep sense of complex traumatic conditions and doesn’t limit the treatment to a single approach. He integrates and suggests many different things depending on the circumstances but manages to keep the continuity of the process, which is very helpful.
