TRAUMA EXPERTISE

Erik is well-versed in trauma-focused therapy, employing a wholistic mind-body understanding to address the various dimensions of trauma. His expertise extends to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective and evidence-based approach in treating trauma. Through EMDR, he guides individuals in reprocessing distressing memories, allowing them to integrate these experiences in a healthier way.

Additionally, Erik has undergone specialized training in Trauma Center-Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) and is a certified TCTSY Facilitator, recognizing the profound role that the body plays in trauma recovery. This unique approach integrates yoga practices to promote embodied self-awareness, resilience, and healing empowerment, complementing traditional therapeutic methods.

BEYOND TRAUMA

While Erik’s primary focus is trauma work, his compassionate mixture of psychodynamic and client-centered approach extends beyond this specialty. He is proficient in couples counseling, offering support and guidance to couples navigating challenges in their relationships. Whether it’s communication issues, trust-building, or intimacy concerns, he provides a safe space for couples to explore and strengthen their connections.
