Therapists in Beachwood, OH

If I really let people in to see the real me, will they reject me? Is there something “wrong” with me that (relationships, self-discipline, fill in the blank) are so difficult? Why can’t I just get it together like everyone else? While many experience these thoughts at some point in life, many people suffer alone in them. These questions can leave us feeling shame, isolation, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Many of my clients come to me weary. They long to believe that healthy, fulfilling, and safe relationships can exist. I invite you to a therapy process to be seen, heard, and challenged to heal and grow.

Do you feel emotionally defeated? Are you a family member, or is your marriage in crisis? I offer older teens, adults, and couples effective strategies that give hope. I believe a Therapist must provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where a client feels free to engage in the treatment process that leads to emotional healing, restoration, and life transformation. I am committed to providing that environment so that you can enter into that process, and together we can discuss those challenges as we work on mutually agreed-upon solutions.
