About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada, Nebraska, and Iowa with over 9 years experience working in substance abuse therapy and over 5 years experience in mental health therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly with an extensive range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger management, victims of crime, trauma, physical abuse, sex abuse, and LGBTQ issues. I have also helped people who have experienced incarceration and perpetrators of physical abuse.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in addiction studies at Nevada State College in 2011. I continued my education and completed my masters degree in Social Work at the University of New England in 2015.

My counseling approach is inviting, warm, and interactive. I believe in meeting clients where they are at with respect, compassion, and empathy. My approach combines motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic, humanistic therapy.

Eric is calm and understanding. He was a perfect match for me because of his background working with families of addicts. I feel safe in being myself and communicating my concerns. I’m grateful I found him.

Written on Apr 20, 2023 after therapy with Eric for 11 months on issues concerning relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and grief

Eric has been incredibly helpful to talk to. He trusts my perception of experiences, but also provides helpful insight and new perspectives to consider. He's patient and an excellent listener. With his help, I'm gradually overcoming my beliefs that have held me back.

Written on Aug 25, 2021 after therapy with Eric for 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Eric is very knowledgeable and understanding about the issues I am facing and has been quite the lifeline for me while coping with some very difficult issues and learning how to respond to them in healthy ways. I wanted to reach for a drink to cope today but instead, I wrote in my journal and shared it with him. He reads those long journal entries and gets a really solid grasp on what I am dealing with so we can address the issues during sessions. I am so grateful for his kindness and understanding.

He’s fabulous and he’s knowledgeable in ways I have never seen in any other therapist.
