CareSource Therapists in Cuyahoga Falls, OH
As a former D1 basketball player, I understand firsthand the emotions and challenges that come with both being a competitive athlete and transitioning away from sports. I know the pressures of balancing performance expectations, academics, and personal life, as well as the struggles with identity, injury, and maintaining motivation. For former athletes, the transition away from competitive sports often involves coping with a loss of identity, adjusting to life after sports, and navigating the uncertainty of what comes next. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, OCD, sexual orientation, & identity.

Do you feel stuck in the past unable to let go no matter how hard you try? Perhaps you feel more anxious then you'd like every day- struggling with overwhelm, irritation, or maybe even perfectionism. Maybe you feel that nothing you ever do is good enough, and your self esteem could improve. Has depression made it nearly impossible for you to get things done or even go to work some days? Are your relationships suffering and you don't understand why or how to improve them? These (and more) are concerns I can help with. Let me offer a ear to listen and some tools so you can feel self empowered to create long lasting changes!

I help people recovering from traumatic experiences in relationships and I offer guidance and practical skills to take home. People come because they had a difficult childhood and were hurt by people they were supposed to trust. People who have felt anxious most of their lives and don't know how to stop repeating mistakes. Sometimes clients come as a couple trying to heal from infidelity, built up walls, and pain. These couples are tired of feeling lonely inside a relationship. Couples who want useful communication skills to start healing and feeling connected again, to move forward. Look at my website to find out more.

Right now, life may feel hard. You’ve faced many challenges that seemed to have come out of nowhere, & you're constantly doing your best to navigate through them. You struggle to set healthy boundaries & often feel overwhelmed. Asking for help isn't always easy. You may say to yourself, “What will people think? I can figure it out on my own.” It’s tough because you usually go at it alone, carrying the load & bearing the burden. However, deep down inside, you know that something isn't quite right & that you could use some support.
