Erik Karff (He/Him)

As a queer-affirming therapist, I provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore identity, relationships, and life’s challenges. Whether you’re questioning, navigating coming out, or seeking support in love, family, or community, I honor your unique journey. I understand the impact of societal forces and offer therapy that fosters self-acceptance, resilience, and authentic connection.

I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth when provided with a safe, accepting space. My person-centered approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and non-judgment. You lead the process, and I offer support, insight, and curiosity to help you connect with your inner wisdom, develop self-trust, and move toward greater fulfillment.

Our past experiences shape how we think, feel, and relate to others. Through a psychodynamic approach, we explore unconscious patterns, childhood influences, and relational dynamics that impact your present life. By bringing awareness to these deeper layers, therapy creates space for healing, self-understanding, and lasting change.

The way we connect with others is shaped by our earliest relationships. Attachment-based therapy helps uncover how past relational experiences influence current patterns in love, friendships, and self-worth. By exploring these dynamics, we can build healthier, more secure relationships—with others and with yourself.

Anxiety can be overwhelming, making even simple tasks feel daunting. Whether you struggle with constant worry, social anxiety, or perfectionism, I provide a supportive space to explore your experiences and develop tools to find relief. Together, we’ll work to quiet your inner critic, understand underlying patterns, and build confidence in facing life’s challenges with greater ease and self-trust.

Many men struggle with emotional expression, self-worth, and societal expectations of masculinity. Whether you feel stuck, disconnected, or pressured to “have it all together,” therapy can help you navigate relationships, self-doubt, and personal growth. I provide a space free of judgment, where you can explore vulnerability, identity, and the deeper aspects of what it means to be you.
