Hi, I'm Eric, co-founder of White Oak Counseling in Charlottesville, VA.
Anxiety can feel overwhelming. Trying to manage worry, panic attacks, or obsessive compulsive disorder can be challenging. You may find that the harder you try, the more you fight, the worse it gets. Well meaning friends and family members may try to help by offering advice of their own: Don’t worry about it. Think about something else. Just try to relax. Unfortunately these suggestions are rarely helpful. The truth is, anxiety can be managed. The solutions, however, are often counterintuitive.

As a strengths-based and trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about helping clients to repair deeply held wounds, especially relational wounds, which are often at the core of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Though I work with clients to help alleviate their troubling symptoms, my work is more fully anchored in the belief that the sensitive exploration of underlying injuries enables not just symptom-reduction but transformation and growth.

My approach to therapy uses Internal Family Systems, an insight-oriented therapy which is a powerful method for understanding conflict, trauma, and defenses, and for promoting healing, change, self-empowerment and self-compassion. I view the counseling process as a partnership and an opportunity for you to learn more about yourself. We will honor the patterns that have kept you safe in the past, while at the same time gently removing the barriers that have kept you from being the person you wish to be. I utilize EMDR in my work as well to address trauma that happened long ago, as well as any recent trauma.

I work with adults who are experiencing a range of issues including challenging life transitions, self-identity, anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I also focus on parenting and relationship stressors. I give clients a supportive place to unpack uncertainties, and to feel heard in order to develop clarity and confidence. I am most excited to work with young parents who are navigating some of life's most challenging transitions including their identity as a parent and as a couple in their work lives and in their larger families.

I help individuals who are ready to reconnect with themselves and move toward healing, guided by the belief that growth and change happen within safe, attuned relationships. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, interpersonal challenges, and complex or developmental trauma. I believe each client holds a story that deserves to be treated with tenderness, honor and respect.
In our work together, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore the patterns, emotions, and coping strategies that have helped you survive, while gently creating room for new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I highly value trust and connection in order for humans to heal. I bring my authentic self and transparency into session in order to give clients the ability to be fully themselves. My goal is to help ease psychological suffering brought on by trauma and other negative life circumstances and then make sense of the overwhelming emotions/responses. It is through compassion and connection that corrective emotional experiences can occur. I believe that our ability to both experience and understand our Self and others is a key component in building secure (emotionally safe) relationships.

We all have a story. You may be carrying grief that feels heavier than you expected. Or you find yourself stuck in relationship patterns that don’t make sense, even though you “know better.” Maybe you function well on the outside, but inside, something still feels unresolved.
I work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and adults navigating loss, family tension, attachment wounds, and major life transitions. Childhood dynamics, complicated grief, and relational stress don’t simply fade with time; they shape how we see ourselves and show up in relationships.

Everyone can improve and succeed regardless of any struggles or trauma a person may encounter. I aim to help clients heal past traumas, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, work through difficult emotions, and find their inner strength. I believe inherently in the resiliency of the human spirit. We have the power to recover, to heal, to grow, and to learn. My goal is to help you understand the problems that you are facing and allow you the space to solve them so that you may transform into the best version of yourself.

Often, words are not enough to describe or make sense of our experiences, feelings and memories of what life brings us. Distressing and traumatic events can leave us feeling fragmented, isolated, on high alert, panicked, stuck in our trauma memories and nightmares and hopeless about our future. We most often see people of all ages who feel like other forms of therapy have not gotten them to their goals, are looking for a non-verbal way to express themselves and want a better quality of life.

The heart of my work as a therapist is creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. When your experiences are met with empathy and acceptance, your nervous system can begin to relax—often bringing a sense of relief right away. From there, it becomes possible to gently explore patterns in your thoughts and behaviors—patterns that once protected or served you but now may be keeping you from living the life you want. Together, we’ll approach these patterns with compassion and curiosity, opening the door to lasting change.

Life can be complicated, and it may be hard to ask for help when you're stressed or confused about what supports you need as you go through high-pressure life changes. Let's start here. My background includes experience as an attorney (inactive), a doula, breastfeeding educator, and a holistic somatic psychotherapist. I incorporate my past professional experience to support individuals and families facing relationship and life shifts including menopause, divorce, parenting, coparenting and court systems, empty-nesting, and "sandwich" demands in a collaborative, embodied and neuro-affirming and trauma-informed space.

Feeling powerless to chronic anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or low self-esteem is debilitating. Whether you are struggling alone or as part of a couple, life doesn’t have to be this hard. I have extensive experience working with college students, and have unique insight into the struggles many students experience. Whether you are a college student, a couple or an individual struggling to find your way due to anxiety and or depression, I provide tools and insights to help change the patterns that keep you stuck, so that you can experience relief and hope that paves the way for joy.

I focus on individual Trauma, Couples, and Family. With years of family and individual work I've developed a flexible ability to meet adult and teen needs from parenting, marital, and developmental trauma and transitions of life. My work is informed by an attachment approach where I seek to create safety with you to untie negative relational patterns and move into greater awareness and courage. To assist my clients with underlying issues of trauma, my training in AEDP, EMDR and somatic approaches are well suited. I also use Ketamine Assisted Therapy in my office to break through old, unconscious patterns.

Something is not working, and you can feel it. The anxiety that used to come and go has become a constant companion. The trauma you thought you had moved past still shows up in your relationships, your body, and your ability to be present. You are tired of just getting through each day, managing symptoms while something deeper remains unaddressed. Maybe you have tried therapy before and it helped on the surface but never reached the root of what is really going on. You are ready for something different, something grounded in real science and tailored to how your brain actually works.

Being vulnerable is hard, it's uncomfortable and it's entirely human.
To me, good therapy provides the perfect opportunity for you to explore the unique challenges in your life in a trusting, nonjudgemental and safe environment. Within the context of the therapeutic relationship, you will be supported with making sense of past issues in order to help you move forward with increased awareness and a greater sense of belonging in the present and future.

I work with both individuals and couples, guided by a deep passion for understanding what makes relationships thrive.
