- LMHC, LPC
As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients address stress, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth across diverse life stages.
I bring a compassionate and direct approach to therapy, working collaboratively with adults and young adults experiencing social anxiety, workplace challenges, mood disorders, and interpersonal relationship difficulties. My expertise spans areas including attachment issues, caregiver stress, men's mental health, and support for individuals with neurodevelopmental differences.
My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding each person's unique journey, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based guidance that honors individual strengths and promotes emotional well-being.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

he is great
Erik is a great therapist. He helps me navigate through life using strategies to ease my anxiety and help improve the life of my daughter to assist her in overcoming her own challenges. He helps me see things through a different lens and is extremely knowledgeable while breaking things down in a pragmatic way that I can use on a daily basis. I really look forward to meeting with him each week. Highly recommended!
Erik has been wonderful as a therapist! He has brought up things that I have not thought about or been asked ever and has made me think hard about things and work them out ! He is very mannerly and friendly to start conversations with . He also is very good at communicating and stating his point of view to help ease any nerves or anxiety I have going into difficult conversations . Highly recommend him and can’t wait to work with him more !
