My name is Eric and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been working as a counselor since 2011 following graduating with my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I began working in the field as a therapist on an inpatient psychiatric unit leading groups and providing individual counseling for several years before transitioning to providing telephonic support and crisis interventions. Through these experiences I have worked with a wide array of individuals from all walks of life to better understand and cope with mental health concerns, specific diagnosis, and life stress.
In therapy my primary style is implementing a person-centered approach to meet you where you are at in this moment, to get a sense of who you are and a basic "snapshot" of the present, discussing and getting an understanding of the current situation that you are experiencing, how it is impacting you and how this led you to seek additional supports and services, then working together to come up with a "game plan" moving forward. As we move forward I often utilize pieces and ideas from Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and as a future-oriented piece Positive Psychology. By working together to set realistic goals and start the process of building up coping skills and strategies moving forward, my hope is that we can walk side-by-side into what hopefully can be a better and healthier future for you.
I look forward to hearing from you and working together in the near future!

Let me start off by saying Eric is fantastic.
His style meshes perfectly with my needs. He is compassionate, understanding, and very in-tune with my therapy goals. He always makes sure to check up on me as needed, even if it is just to make sure things have been going well. He is very personable and friendly, and I found myself being able to casually chat with him almost immediately. The environment he creates is both welcoming and safe, you truly are in a place of healing and understanding.
If I could, I'd recommend Eric to everyone who needs therapy. Seriously, he has helped me immensely.

I’ve searched for a long time for a Therapist who wouldn’t treat me as another patient with certain characteristics then address the problems “by the book”. Eric meets each problem with new eyes and tries to work the patient through each problem as they come while also gently prodding them toward future goals. One of the best I’ve had in a long time.

I've been through my fair share of therapists and Eric is finally a therapist I really feel comfortable speaking to honestly. He is extremely friendly and easy to talk to. We have already gone through a few different types of coping mechanisms, different types of therapy. It's very clear that he cares for his patients and cares about the work he does. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone.

Eric has helped me through a challenging period of my life with gentle grace and encouragement. It seems as though half the time he knows exactly what I’m thinking, and will express how I feel before I even put it into words. I hope Eric knows how many tools and resources he’s helped me find and build for myself. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with substance use disorders, anxiety, and depression. He is also wonderfully thoughtful and follows up often to check in on things. I appreciate his spirit.

Eric is both passionate and empethetic towards my situations and advice. He offered great encouragement and suggestions that allow me to work through my thought process and monitor my behaviors to my own need. He was very understanding and never asked me to act upon his suggestions, but I felt tailored to what might work best in my own situation/environmental challenges. He was a wonderful and attentive counselor that I work very much reccomend!
