Introduction

Hi, I am Eric. Whatever you are experiencing, you do not have to tolerate it or live with it that way. Changes is possible. You may be living with the effects of trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, struggling with low mood, or noticing that your relationship feels tense or disconnected.

I provide a calm, grounded therapeutic space where you can slow down and feel genuinely heard. Many clients tell me they find it surprisingly easy to open up. My approach is gentle and purposeful. I move at your pace while also helping you make meaningful progress.

 

With couples, I focus on:

  • Communication breakdown

  • Repeated conflict cycles

  • Emotional disconnection

  • Rebuilding trust and understanding

 

In couple work, I help partners slow down reactive patterns, understand each other’s emotional needs, and develop healthier ways of communicating.

My style is steady, compassionate, and reflective. I believe real change happens when people feel emotionally safe enough to be honest, including about the parts they usually hide. From that place, growth becomes possible.

If you are ready to begin that process, I would be honoured to work alongside you.

 

With individuals, I work with:

  • Trauma and its lasting emotional impact

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Depression and low motivation

  • Emotional overwhelm and regulation difficulties

  • Patterns rooted in earlier life experiences

 

We explore not only symptoms but the underlying patterns and relational dynamics that maintain them. My aim is to help you build resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of inner stability.

 

If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me.
