Knowing Erwin 10+ years, I've seen rare depth: systems-level thinker, precise diagnostician, and genuinely warm. Calm under pressure, he pinpoints diagnoses, matches therapy, and delivers evidence-based care I'd trust with family.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand and change patterns that contribute to distress. In your first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy—including how past trauma may influence current struggles—and choose the most effective approaches for you. I also integrate trauma-informed care and EMDR, creating a safe space for healing and lasting relief.
