Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Eric and I am a Licensed Independent clinical social worker in the state of Massachusetts. I started my work as a Social Worker after I retired from the military. I received my BSW in 2019 and my MSW in 2021. I have experience working with children and families, elderly, end of life, grief and bereavement and veterans and their families.

My approach to therapy

I pride myself in my ability to put judgment aside and allow the person to come to me to have an open and honest conversation. I will always give respect to the people who come to me seeking assistance.

I enjoy allowing the sessions to take us where we need to go in order to provide the most appropriate form of treatment while giving us the flexibility to move between therapy types to best suit the needs of the client.

What you can expect from me

I would ask that you come expecting to have open communication with me. I know it will take time to build trust and confidence so I will not push anyone that is not ready. However, I like to utilize solution focused therapy where we set smaller goals as well as larger goals to find a way to work through whatever is happening.
