About Eric

I want you to come into treatment exactly as you are. The therapeutic relationship is a unique place where saying and feeling everything is not just allowed but central to our work. I believe that helping people explore themselves deeply is a great responsibility, and I want to help create a space for you to compassionately examine who you are and what you want.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of sexuality and emotional intimacy. Some of my clients struggle to love well; others struggle with sex. But all of my clients, perhaps all humans, juggle the sometimes contradictory demands of love and sex. They want to feel safe and loved, but they also want the thrill of adventure. They want to feel known, but they are also intrigued by mystery. They want to feel attached, but they are also turned on by novelty. I enjoy helping individuals and couples explore the depths of their potential to find greater connection as well as sexual satisfaction.

I help couples fully know each other, managing the initial difficulties that come from navigating differences. Once mistrust and barriers to intimacy are overcome, I help couples build healthier patterns of sexual and emotional vulnerability through honesty, transparency, courage, and sexual vitality. Initial couples sessions are often difficult with intense emotions, but through transparency and courage to share I find that couples quickly overcome negative patterns and find a safety in our work together.

My undergraduate education was at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where I studied English literature and psychology. I received my master’s degree from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis in the field of mental health counseling. I am also working towards my doctoral degree in psychoanalysis from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. I have been in my own analysis for the past three years. Prior to that, I received therapy from a Jungian psychoanalyst and a humanistic (Rogerian) therapist. I have experience both giving and receiving multiple different modalities of therapy. I believe it is important for a therapist to understand both sides of the relationship. A therapist can only take you as far as they themselves have gone.

Prior to starting at Kinsey & Associates, I worked for various state funded organizations (i.e. schools, community mental health centers, social work settings). I take pride in working effectively with challenging populations and with people from myriad cultures and backgrounds. I specialize in working with individuals with schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions, individuals with personality disorders, children and adults with complex trauma, men’s issues, and working with families. I have a special interest in working with people suffering from anger, shame, feelings of hatred and guilt. 

I am passionate about challenging myself mentally, physically, and relationally. In my free time I read, play basketball, have taken up martial arts and meditate. I engage in Vipassana meditation which I have learned and practiced during retreats in Western Massachusetts. I also have a special interest in Colombia (having lived, worked, and made many friendships there), the Spanish language and various forms of dance practiced throughout Colombia. 

We may not be responsible for the things that have happened to us, but there is freedom in accepting the fact that we are responsible for how we interact with others, with the world, and with ourselves. It is with those three things that I most hope to help my clients explore so that they may live more decisively.
