A major challenge for many individuals, couples, and families is creating and sustaining meaningful connections. Feeling connected to loved ones and friends, purposeful work, or creative endeavors is not easy. Sometimes people do not feel connected to themselves and need support in understanding their feelings and behaviors. Likewise, there are times when disconnecting from toxic relationships and activities is necessary and requires strategies and skills that are not easily acquired or encouraged by others. Stressful life transitions, traumatic events, addictive behaviors, and painful losses are concerns for many of my clients.

I hold an M.A. in Social/Cognitive Psychology, an M.A. in Spiritually-Oriented Clinical Psychology, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I offer individual therapy, workshops, and create tools that support mental and emotional health more accessible and easy to use. I spent the first half of my career in California, doing therapy and yoga in public rehabs with incarcerated individuals and in luxury facilities for celebrities. During the pandemic, I moved to Cleveland to be with family and have been here ever since.

Does your child struggle with learning? Do you think your child needs educational accommodations or supports? Evaluating children and adolescents, I work to develop a comfortable atmosphere where your children can be themselves and strive to do their best when completing testing. I do all of the testing myself. I value the time I spend listening, learning about your children, and watching how they problem-solve. I want to know more than just whether their answers are right or wrong, but how they went about reaching them. This helps me provide useful recommendations to help foster your child's overall development.

I offer psychotherapy and psychological testing for teenagers and adults. Adults seek help for ADHD, anxiety or mood disorders. I help them find meaning, purpose, and joy as they function more fully at home and work. Also, I work with teenagers who underachieve and present behavior challenges, mood disorders and various types of anxiety. When working with teens, I also work closely with parents to help them learn how to encourage their kid's growth toward autonomy and self-direction. It is a joy to encounter parents and teenagers as they learn to cooperate, rather than to struggle against each other.

When is it time to seek counseling? Well, for each person it is different. This is because everyone has their own breaking point - a point where stress or trauma becomes so overwhelming that it becomes harder to engage in normal everyday activities. If your stress is interfering with your sleep, parenting, or work then it is probably a good time to get assistance to work through the issues. I offer a safe and confidential environment to address these issues and find practical solutions in order for you to gain emotional relief.

There is a curious habit that I've noticed, especially when working with teens, that clients will mostly only work on the "issue of the week." This can have numerous benefits and can also delay the client's progress on any underlying concerns or patterns. Ideally, once a client has agreed to their treatment goals, they continue to take attainable steps towards that goal in therapy and in their daily life. When a client feels comfortable with their therapist to share their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, then deeper work can happen.

My practice is dedicated to helping children, teens, and young adults live satisfying lives, maximizing their successful functioning at home, school, and in their relationships. I diagnose and treat a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I also have specialized expertise in the treatment of adjustment and coping challenges that can accompany medical illness and in evaluation of learning challenges, attention problems, and giftedness. I offer a full range of services, including consultation/evaluation, treatment, and educational/psychological assessment. My face-to-face testing feedback and comprehensive reports provide specific recommendations tailored to the needs of the student.
