Having the support of someone who truly empathizes and is there to listen is valuable. Through counseling you can gain a fresh perspective, learn positive ways to cope with problems and become empowered to have a more fulfilling life. Together we will formulate goals for therapy and work together to meet your specific needs. I offer a confidential, safe, non-judgmental space where you can be heard. We will focus on healing and change in a supportive and caring environment.

Creating balance in mind, body and spirit is my personal and professional mission. I have been in the counseling field for over two decades. My experience has been very extensive from working with young children in a psychiatric setting to counseling the Geriatric population in hospital and nursing home settings to educating clients on integrative therapeutic approaches like yoga. Currently, my focus has been treating women issues, depression and anxiety issues, physical illness and traumas, parenting issues, cognitive impairment and life transitions. I prefer adults but have been skilled in working with children.

Therapy is a relationship building process to activate change to effectively meet your needs. I assist children, adolescents, adults and families supporting them in making changes to improve quality of life.

In this fast paced and ever changing world, sometimes it takes talking to someone who will not judge or draw incorrect conclusions. I am a seasoned counselor who sees the world through the eyes of the client. Through the years, I have counseled people from all walks and perspectives. I like to help others find what they need to provide stability for their unique circumstances. I feel people are the experts in their own lives. I simply help to provide the path to a more fulfilling life. I use cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques in addressing these issues.

I specialize in “helping the helpers” prioritize self-care and heal from chronic stress, burnout, overwhelm, and exhaustion. Most of my clients are high-performing professionals, leaders, administrators, healthcare providers, caretakers, teachers, therapists, and entrepreneurs. They tend to center their lives around their work and often over-give to a point of depletion. Many are also highly sensitive persons who find themselves more easily overwhelmed, overstimulated or drained by their work. I help them make real, strategic changes to relieve current stress patterns, maximize their impact and prevent future burnout.

Helping teens find their own strength is my passion. I am excited about empowering them and others to make healthy changes in their own lives. Right now, we’re seeing many teens struggle with anxiety and depression, in addition to the regular stresses of life. I help them process their trauma and build a great life while working through their depression and anxiety.

My philosophy as a counselor is to provide unconditional support and a willingness to enter into your personal experience alongside you. I create a judgement free and confidential space for you to express yourself and your emotional needs. I specialize in a variety of areas including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and mood disorders. I believe that counseling is a way towards growth and healing.

Hello! I'm happy you're reading my profile since there are many profiles on this website. You might ask, "How am I different from other therapists?" Well, for starters, I am a man (I can't believe how many female therapists there are on Cleveland's west side!). My chief strength is helping adults, adolescents, and children who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I have been told by my clients they feel comfortable talking with me. Some of them have described me as calm and serene (My friends would laugh at this. Outside of therapy, I can be intense and anything but serene.)
