Get To Know Erik

  • Compassionate, Collaborative, Authentic

  • I became a therapist because my passion in life is helping others. I’ve always wanted to provide space for others to feel heard and to provide support that empowers individuals to achieve their goals.

  • You can expect a nonjudgemental space where you can feel like you can be unapologetically yourself. We will laugh, cry, and work to build the confidence and lifestyle you deserve. I take a collaborative approach, so I want to hear your feedback! Therapy can be many different things, and I want to make sure that we work together to create a zen, mindful, and insightful space for reflection.

  • I show up with honesty and warmth. I want you to feel like you can bring all parts of yourself into the room without judgment. I’m willing to sit with the hard stuff, celebrate the wins, and be consistent so you know that you are not alone. I see therapy as a space where we work together to figure out what’s helpful, and also what’s not helpful. Asking for help is not always easy, so I want to make sure that the space we create is everything you need it to be.

  • I like having coping skills for my mind and for my body. For my mind, I enjoy taking mindful walks in nature to reset, and using mindfulness to check in with my thoughts and emotions. I also enjoy reading philosophical, historical, classical, and horror short stories and novels. To stay active I enjoy walking my 2 cats (Penny and Moto) around the city, playing bass guitar, playing video games, watching movies/TV, and skateboarding.

  • “I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”
    –C. Joybell C.

    Therapy is a journey of growth, and I am honored to walk alongside you as you heal and find peace.
