About Eric

I have worked in various areas of mental health. I have extensive experience working in Addiction Medicine, Trauma and Grief, as well as Acute Psychiatric Care. I also have experience in Couples and Family Therapy, offering Emotionally Focused and Gottman techniques and interventions.

How I work with Students:

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I take the approach of meeting students where they are at. I utilize Strength Based, Person Centered and Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Interventions and techniques. By utilizing these approaches, I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment, where each student can become the best version of themselves. I also work to empower students on their journey of self-discovery, personal growth and self-awareness.
