More about Erik
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy treatment modalities as a base and bring in various other treatment methods based on the client. I have worked in several different areas with many different populations including a foster family agency, crisis unit, psychiatric hospital, and EAP programs. I believe in a straightforward approach to therapy. I focus on empowering individuals to empower themselves to make long-lasting changes and enhance the quality of their lives.
