A note from Eric
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience working with individuals and couples. One of my specialties is working with those that have been through trauma. I love seeing people heal from their trauma and find peace. Therapy is a journey where we work together to understand your experiences and develop strategies for growth. My approach combines different modalities depending on your struggles to equip you with practical tools to manage stress and cultivate a more fulfilling life. My hope is to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
