Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, I’m Eric. I’m a licensed psychotherapist. I graduated from Central Connecticut State University in 2013 with my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I’ve worked in outpatient settings with inner city youth and low income families in New Britain, CT. I’ve been a clinician for a therapeutic adolescent boy’s group home. I’ve managed a therapeutic adolescent girl’s group home. Most recently, I managed a non-profit, state funded clinical domestic violence program focused on helping to reform abusive behaviors and heal family bonds in an effort to keep families together and prevent state intervention. I’m currently practicing privately utilizing telehealth services.
I’m a very systemic thinker and practitioner. I’m very trauma focused. My therapeutic approach is grounded in solution focused strategies mixed with a socratic conversational style with deep influences from Dick Schwartz’s (IFS) Internal Family Systems, Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry, as well as narrative methods.
Clinical Strengths:
-General life stress
-Grief and loss

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One clear advantage is flexibility – people can meet with a therapist in the format that best fits their needs, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care through life’s changes.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many seeking support for everyday mental health concerns, online therapy is a practical and effective choice.
