I hold an inclusive framework that includes disability, neurodiversity, racial identity, and queer experience. Inclusivity. LGBTQ+ inclusivity to me includes kink, polyamory, sexuality, and all gender expansive identities. I operate from a health at every size (HAES) approach for those of all body types and histories. I value harm reduction rather than abstinence. Therapy to me also includes social justice and addressing systemic issues alongside managing our individual concerns.

Every single person has seasons of struggle, phases of life where changes and stressors become too challenging to handle alone. Whether deep unresolved pain is coming to the surface once again and interfering with your day to day, or perhaps it’s a fight just to get through each day, regardless of where you are at in your own story, I believe we all need support and a little extra help to get through from time to time. I would be honored to walk with you through whatever you might be facing in the present moment.

In my experience therapy can help you access more of your true self with less shame. We work together to establish trust so you can honestly express your thoughts and feelings. Over time we come to a better understanding of the unconscious beliefs and behaviors that inform your experiences and decisions. You may find that you develop a greater openness to the unknown and improve your ability to comfort yourself and to be self-reflective. Most people I work with are seeking a deeper connection with their intuition and emotional self. This is a common issue for men, but I work with folks from all sorts of different backgrounds.

As a therapist that works with couples and individuals, with a focus on intimacy and sexuality, I often work with people seeking deeper and more nourishing connections in their relationships and lives. Connection requires the courage to move into vulnerability and honesty to live one's truth about what they really need from their relationships. This is where I can help! I serve as a guide for individuals and couples in stepping into their own lives, to ask for what they need and to be present in and for their relationships.

Hi, I’m Eric. Depression and life’s stress can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless and scared. Someone who cares about doing their best for their loved ones and tuning in to their needs can still find themselves feeling sad, overwhelmed or worn out. Sometimes, we work so hard trying to do the right thing we can almost forget who we are or why we are doing all this. If you are here, that is a sign you are open to make a change. You are primed to do something good for yourself. You are ready to care for the caregiver that works so hard for everyone else. Most of all, you are set to get onto a path you can feel proud of.

My approach to therapy with my clients is based on Bowen's Family Systems theory that every individual within the system has a perceived role and forms connections to others based on that perceived role. With couples work I have taken training under Dr. John Gottman and work with them to form connections to each other based on being open and vulnerable towards building trust. Communication skills are taught in order to be able to discuss potentially conflictual subjects and come towards a more collaborative relationship.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
