About Eric
He began studying psychology and addiction at Nevada State College and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of New England. That educational path supported years of work in substance use settings and in mental health care across age groups.
Sessions are practical and conversational. He uses techniques that help people set goals, change unhelpful thinking, and build coping skills. He also draws on motivational strategies to support people who want to change behaviors such as drug or alcohol use.
Eric aims for a warm, respectful tone. He emphasizes listening first and then working together on steps that fit the client's life. Parents reading this will find short, direct explanations and suggestions rather than clinical jargon.
He has experience with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. He also works with issues such as anger, intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.
People often leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. Those steps are simple, measurable actions designed to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
