Eric received his Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy in 1995 and has been licensed since 1998. Prior to his career as a therapist Eric enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he served in combat during the Gulf War. His odd vocational mix also includes serving as a pastor and as a Firefighter/EMT. This diverse set of experiences has given Eric a passion for work with trauma, veterans and first responders, spiritual confusion and abuse, couples work, and the LGBTQ community. He has trained in EMDR and ACT, both of which are frequently used modalities in the veteran’s health administration. Before returning to his home state of Tennessee, Eric resided in Massachusetts where he served on and then directed the Plymouth County Critical Incident Team, a team of peers and clinicians working with first responders following traumatic calls. Before this he began and directed a church-based counseling clinic for 13 years that worked primarily with couples. He also taught in the university setting for over a decade training new counselors where he focused on marriage and family therapy techniques and ethics training.

For the past 10 years, my passion has been to help facilitate change within adults in residential treatment settings (for eight of these 10 years – specific focus on addictions [chemical and behavioral], psychiatric disorders, Autism and other mental health concerns) and adolescents aged 11 to 18 in a school setting (for the other two years). I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a Master of Arts (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and then furthered my training in the counseling profession by graduating from the University of Florida with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Counseling and Counselor Education. My approach to counseling is to create a safe space in each counseling session, which is built on understanding that each individual is a complex network of identities working together to create our lived experiences.
My experiences afforded me the opportunity to gain experience with a multitude of presenting concerns, including but not limited to: chemical addictions, behavioral addictions (pornography, sex, shopping, gambling, eating disorders, video games, etc.), issues related to sexual and gender identity, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, with a specialized training in the transgender population, Autism Spectrum Disorder, sexuality and sex-positive therapy, anxiety, depression, trauma, to name a few. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Services Provider designation (LPC-MHSP) in TN and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in FL.
Every person is different & I believe it is important to have individualized treatment for each client I see. Hope to hear from you soon!
