Erik received his MSW from the Hunter College School of Social Work in 1996 and completed two years of psychodynamic training at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in 2000. Before opening his private practice in 2001, Erik worked with homeless youth in NYC for five years. Erik has also worked with people facing the death penalty for over two decades and has been appointed by the federal courts in over sixty capital cases.

Erik’s approach to treatment is deeply informed by his capital work, which taught him to meet people as they are, without pretense, and to stay genuinely interested in their experience. Genuine presence and real curiosity about each person’s experience is the foundation of his therapeutic approach.
