I work with clients trying to cope with anxiety and stress, trauma, depression, interpersonal challenges, and various performance pressures. They seek a comfortable space where they can unpack and sort racing feelings and ideas, where they know that they will have someone who listens to them. In addition, some of my clients seek to learn specific skills, such as how to calm themselves when feeling agitated, how to improve their sleep, how to regain their motivation, or how to communicate more effectively with others.

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.

You know you want to make changes, yet you’re not sure how. You’re grappling with pain and suffering, indecision and uncertainty. In our work together we will identify what works well for you and uncover leftover habits that were once very functional, even lifesaving, but no longer serve you and are keeping you stuck. We’ll find new ways of being and doing so you can be free of old habits and patterns, so you can step into the rest of your life being the person you were born to be.

I am a counseling psychologist trained in positive psychology principles, cognitive behavioral research, client-centered counseling and psychodynamic therapy. I offer an integrative therapeutic approach to help individuals gain insight into their lives and the skills to bring about positive change. I provide care to individuals, couples and families and consultation services to groups and organizations. I specialize in working with adults, especially young adults in college and early career professionals struggling with mental health issues related to anxiety, depression, sexual difficulties, gender identity, substance use and intimate relationships.

Does is feel like life is a treadmill and you're going over and over the same territory but never getting anywhere? Whether it's an intimate relationship that is stuck on the same issues, an addictive behavior that you can't seem to break out of, or a neurotic pattern of depression or anxiety that robes life of its joy, sometimes life can be discouraging, and trying harder in the same way brings only more frustration.

I believe you can change by focusing on what is important to you, and your strengths. My expertise is working with ADHD, Anxiety, Addiction, Depression, Childhood & Adulthood Trauma, Relationship, and Couple’s issues. (Check my website if you're interested in more details of my approach)

The world can be a confusing and painful place, and we all need places of safety where we can make sense of ourselves and the things we're going through. My hope is that therapy can offer a space where you will feel seen, receive support, and gain insight into the things you've already been through and everything you're experiencing today. It can be easy to put our own needs aside when other things feel more urgent, and I want to create a space where you and your needs get to be a consistent priority.

Children, adolescents, and families are the focus of my practice. Developing and strengthening the parent-child relationship is especially important with young children. Helping children learn to feel more capable and independent is important for school age children. Developing autonomy and learning to make good choices is critical for adolescents. By creating achievable goals together and working in a safe and supportive environment, we are able to create positive experiences for both children and parents.

At Cleveland Couples Center, all our therapists are experts in couples therapy, and bring years of experience working with a full spectrum of clients and issues that they bring. Among the issues we frequently deal with are those of infidelity, anger, lack of trust, intimacy, parenting, drug and alcohol abuse,and pre-marital counseling. Our therapists cover a diverse spectrum of age, race, sexual orientation and faith. We are located in a number of convenient locations throughout the city.

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.

Einstein wrote, "To do the same things and expect different results is insanity". Making change is not always easy. I can help you through this difficult process. My years of experience have equipped me with the knowledge and resources to assist you in this sometimes painful process. This is done in a nurturing and supportive environment that assists you to discover that path that best suits you. I will ask not for your trust based of my education and training. What I ask is for the opportunity to earn your trust because I care and I want to make a difference in your life.

I have been where you are. Suffering is a right of passage. The idea of sharing your thoughts and feelings with a stranger may seem odd at first, but when the therapeutic relationship is working, fear and pain become manageable and sometimes even fall away. Having problems can feel lonely and alienating, you deserve the opportunity to find an easier way. EXHALE…it will be ok:-) I have a relaxed approach with humor and an easy disposition. Unfortunately seeking help can be a burden in itself. Let’s talk for a session or 2 and see if there’s some resonance. Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families, (thoughtful, high functioning).

I am a clinical psychologist, specializing in the evidence-based treatment of anxiety disorders including OCD, panic, phobias, and generalized anxiety across the lifespan. I also have expertise working with military Veterans and with individuals struggling to adjust to serious health-related conditions and their associated challenges.

I am a passionate, ambitious, ethical professional with communication proficiency and the required experience to successfully work with a diverse clientele base. I believe that my professional background coupled with my personal life experiences make me a very well rounded licensed professional counselor.
