Eric is attuned to the mental health challenges that athletes face. He currently works as a clinical sport social worker within Harvard Athletics, where he provides individual counseling and co-leads their Mind and Body program. He incorporates mindfulness into his practice, as well as psychodynamic approaches like Internal Family Systems and Self Psychology. Eric works with a limited number of college and professional athletes who are committed and dedicated to improving their relationship with themselves.
Unlike a sport psychologist, whose primary goal is to help athletes reach peak performance, Eric aims to help you thrive in all areas of life, including your sport. He works collaboratively with you to develop a mental health program that fits your needs. Ultimately, Eric's goal is to help you discover and validate your best self.
