Are you hoping to better communicate, manage conflict and revamp your connection with your partner? Or are you in the midst of a major life transition? My clients struggle like you. Despite their brilliance, creativity and drive, the pressures of adapting to life's changes or communicating with their partner seem overwhelming. Before my clients came to see me, they figured that it was “too late” to make a change, and their life “is what it is.” They feared that if they took any drastic steps to improve their lives, it would be considered “selfish.” The fear of change, but also the fear of never changing created tension and anxiety.

My passion is to come alongside and help children/teens, couples, and their families with a systemic and holistic approach while they go through life challenges so they can thrive in their lives. 부부 및 가족관계 치료사, 아동 및 청소년 상담치료사로 이민사회에서 불안, 우울증, 관계불화로 갈등하는 분들을 돕고 있습니다. '불안한 아이 및 청소년'을 돕는 상담치료법과 '정서중심적 부부치료' 방법으로 상담치료를 합니다.

We are all wired for connection, both to others and to ourselves. Anxiety, low self-worth, and family conflict are just a few of the many common barriers to achieving this connection we all desire. I am passionate about taking an empathetic, curious, and collaborative approach with you to help free you from the burdensome experience of feeling stuck and held back from this connection. Life is all about relationships. I greatly value the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to build just that by holding you, the client, as the expert in your own life while offering warmth, empathy, and consistency.

I work with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, issues of personal identity (race/gender/sexuality orientation), and life transitions (relational/ academic/professional). Navigating into the depths of who we are reveals we are so much more than what we sense at the surface. Having support on our journey can allow us to develop tolerance for our full range of emotions, gain awareness of what we feel in our bodies, discover new insights into past events, expand our ability to discuss fears, increase empathy for ourselves, experience more meaningful relationships.

We all struggle in life at one point or another. However, reaching out for support can take a lot of strength and courage. For this reason, I strive to provide a safe, accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your struggles and receive the support and guidance you need. Many times our past experiences have left us with wounds that become aggravated, causing difficulites in our relationships and daily lives. Together, we will reflect upon your emotional states, core beliefs and sources of distress to gain deeper awareness and skills for positive change and healing in these areas.

My name is Eryn Kruk. “I believe that each person has innate abilities and strengths to help them overcome issues and challenges that are impacting their lives and that each person has the power to improve their lives and relationships. My goal is to help clients attend to and understand their emotional and relational needs both inside and outside the therapy room so that clients may feel empowered and in charge of their own journey toward health and healing.

Are you a neurodiverse and/or queer identified person struggling to adapt to the pressures and expectations of our current social structure? Do you find yourself apologizing a lot to people who deem you irresponsible, lazy, dramatic, overly emotional, spaced out, or incapable of following through? Does the movement of time feel abstract and meaningless one moment and then overwhelming and stressful another? Do you ever think maybe this world was designed for others more capable than yourself? Are you struggling with who you are and how you show up? Are you stuck? Are you a creative with no inspiration?

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

Are you a parent struggling to manage your kids emotionally intense or challenging behaviors and it’s making parenting and day-to-day life stressful and unenjoyable? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, angry and burned-out from managing your kids’ behaviors? Do you wonder if this is just how parenting goes for everyone or could it be easier? Parenting has never been more confusing due to misinformation online and in parenting circles about handling challenging behavior and parenting in general. Social media is full of parenting tips that are just soundbites—impossible to follow without a cohesive framework or ongoing support.
