When battling stress and depression feels relentless, it’s natural to feel like you’re out of options. Together, we’ll build new skills to notice, accept, and discover new ways to move through challenging emotions. With practice, you’ll spend less time battling your mind and more time building the life you value.
Eric is curious about most things in life, especially people and the stories that comprise their lives. Søren Kierkegaard stated, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Eric is fascinated to know how peoples’ pasts have shaped them, but he is especially interested in helping them live forwards.
Eric earned his Master of Arts in Counseling and Psychological Services from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where he also minored in Philosophy, which he finds much more interesting than Architecture. Before becoming a therapist Eric served 15 years in college ministry speaking with students about Jesus and helping others grow in their walks with Him.
When not in a counseling session, you will find Eric exercising, fishing, reading, or enjoying his family (married in 2007, father of two incredible daughters).
