Emotionally Focused Therapists in Mentor, OH

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and rundown with daily life stressors? Are you struggling in your relationships with yourself your partner, children and other important people? When life feels out of control, it can be a relief to have someone you can count on to hear you and work through some of the pain that you have been carrying. It takes strength and courage to reach out to someone for help. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your life's story. My goal is to help improve your relationships, increase your self-esteem and help you live a more balanced life.

We are our stories. Your story matters. Sometimes we feel we are no longer the author of our lives, our jobs, or our relationships. Or that past experiences have started writing our futures for us, making us feel out of control no matter what we do to break the cycle. Part of what I do is provide a safe, open, and nonjudgmental environment to explore your life experiences, unhelpful patterns, and difficulties in your relationships.

I have experience working with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, identity/self-exploration, self-esteem, perfectionism, grief/loss, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. I have a unique background in addressing sexuality and intimacy topics ranging from identity exploration to problem sexual behaviors. I utilize a person centered and eclectic style that pulls from modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to best fit each of my clients needs. I would be honored to be a part of your journey and provide a safe space for you.

Hi!! Thank you for visiting my profile and I commend you for making a decision to release that which is no longer serving you and accept yourself as beautifully flawed. I am an eclectic therapist specializing in EMDR, yet catering treatment plans which meet the needs of my clients and their willingness to change. I specifically work with children and adults who have a history of trauma which is impairing their ability to function and prohibiting them from living freely and wholly.
