I stress long-term change in addition to short-term symptom relief and focus on giving clients the tools and insights needed to help themselves on an ongoing basis. My specialties include relationship problems, adult survivors of childhood trauma and abuse, infertility and adoption. I also work with a broad range of other emotional challenges in my general practice, including, but not limited to, anxiety, life transitions, co-dependence, re-building after divorce, unresolved anger and problems with self-esteem. I work with adults, children, and adolescents from the greater Cleveland area.

I believe anyone brave enough to seek out therapy is motivated to make a change in how they cope, lead, experience, and take charge of all that life throws at them. As a mental health counselor, I am here to walk with and encourage you as you empower yourself to continue to live a life of meaning and purpose. I will help you identify and work with your strengths, values, and goals, no matter what baggage and background seems to weigh you down.

I am a licensed independent social worker with a PhD in psychology (academic degree). My humanistic approach engages clients in active collaboration on the content/direction of therapy. I strive to make the therapeutic space & time warm, welcoming, & safe, to provide clients the ability to focus on problems. I have extensive experience working within healthcare & hospice environments, & have a strong understanding of medical issues. I utilize strengths-based approaches in counseling individuals, couples, & families. Techniques are based on therapies including; EMDR, mindfulness, acceptance, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, narrative, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, & client-centered therapy. My dissertation focused on existential suffering at end of life.

I believe that people are curious and usually strive to make sense of their internal selves and the world around them. In this process we are often guided, influenced, and diverted by various factors. These factors are endless and include, but are not limited to; experiences, parents, society, friends, work, and morals. While these variables can help us to grow, they may also hinder progress, leading to stagnation and dysfunction. I assist others to gain awareness of these factors either within or outside the self.

I have 16 years experience using holistic and traditional healing modalities - EMDR, Art Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, CBT and more, to help individuals recover fully from trauma, anxiety, stress, depression and/or addictions. Would you like to move your life forward in the direction of your dreams? I can help you rediscover your strengths and the passion within to heal all things that hold you back, allowing you to recover your joy and the highest potential of who you truly are.

Too often, people start therapy w/out really knowing how it's supposed to help them. Too often, therapists passively listen without providing the essential skills & insights to help them get better. This can lead to a lot of time and money being spent w/out seeing much improvement. That is why my practice has a transparent and teamwork driven approach. In the 1st 1-3 sessions we go over why you started therapy and then collaborate on a treatment plan that is customized to your specific goals. Over the course of treatment we review progress and make modifications accordingly.

I offer in-person and telehealth sessions. I am here to help others reach their personal goals while providing a warm and judgement free environment. My eclectic approach is flexible and meets the person where there at, while matching the symptoms and disorders to the treatment approach. I help individuals identify specific struggles in their life. My experience has helped clients regulate emotions, and work through issues and struggles while providing tools to facilitate healing. I value a client counselor relationship.

Life is difficult! Relationships are challenging and require a lot of work. Parenting is exhausting and often bewildering. We are all capable of growth and working through our struggles, sometimes that means getting some extra support. I have over 10 years of experience helping with folks from all walks of life navigate the difficulties they face, from situational stressors and life changes to debilitating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have been able to witness inspiring healing and growth across the life span in so many diverse situations.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

Let's talk about grief, and loss! Have you had a major loss, a love one died, a relationship ended, loss a job/career, loss of trust, or good health? Have you experienced a traumatic event either for yourself or witnessed trauma to someone else? The Grief Recovery Method is an educational intervention that provides both group and one-on-one support to address losses of all kinds and especially includes the death of a loved one. The Grief Recovery Method can be offered as a one-on-one service or a group experience. EMDR is another supportive technique/therapy used to address traumatic life experiences and life anxieties and stresses.

I offer individual, couple, family and group therapy for issues including anxiety, depression, couple/family conflict, body image, college readiness. I balance acceptance, compassion and empathy with a results-oriented approach. Therapy is a partnership in which we will work on increasing self-awareness, strengthening relationships, building skills, and making life changes. I draw from my experience and training in Gestalt Couple, Family, Individual and Group Therapy, Maudsley Family Based Treatment, CBT, DBT, and SPACE for children with anxiety.

If you want help with deeply personal and confidential matters, either for yourself, or in your relationship(s), I am able to help both individuals and couples work through difficult emotions and concerns. If you are committed to exploring your history, reflecting, and gaining self-awareness, in the interest of your personal growth, I can help with my professional experience and training. If you want to work on your relationship, either to move out of crisis, or to fine-tune it and be have greater emotional intimacy, I am happy to work with you.

By utilizing techniques in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), I combine logic, intuition, creativity, and empathy to reflect my unique approach, based in humanism, holism, and existentialism, and assist with achievement of therapeutic goals. I help with challenges such as developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, learning and implementing adaptive responses to stressors, building effective interpersonal skills, establishing healthy expectations and boundaries, and instilling a sense of empowerment and resilience.

As a mental health professional, I’ve worked in the field of psychology for many years. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in trauma recovery, grief/bereavement, personality disorders, anxiety related disorders, mood disorders, relationship difficulties and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I’m a life-long learner and I support in a wholistic approach to mental health wellness. I also support that we are all much more than just the sum of our parts. I’m extensively trained in the psychodynamic, existential - humanistic, and cognitive behavioral schools of psychological thought.

I have experience working with all types of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and complex trauma. My secondary specialties include severe chronic mental illness, relationship problems, recovery from previous domestic violence, LTGBQ+ concerns, self-harm, and developmental or attachment wounds from childhood. I continue to take continuing education classes to improve my knowledge and skills in these areas. I especially enjoy working with clients motivated to improve their lives and willing to take responsibility for their success rather than expecting others to do their work.

Do you feel like you're quietly dying on the inside, but nobody notices? Have you lost yourself? Have you given so much to others and feel that you have nothing left to give?

I strive to create a respectful, welcoming, and safe space for my clients. I work with adults to process trauma, explore their LGBTQ+ identities, cope with stress and anxiety, heal from depression, manage life changes, and more. Although everyone has coping strategies, I can help review what is and isn't working, refine the healthy strategies, and add some new skills to practice.
